A court here has awarded 10 years' rigorous imprisonment to a man for raping a seven-year-old girl in 2014.
District and Sessions Judge A V Rotte yesterday also slapped a fine of Rs 10,000 on Motiram Asaram Gore.
Assistant government pleader Bharat Khandekar informed the court that on March 22, 2014, Gore lured the girl while she was playing at Gurupimpri village and raped her.
The girl narrated the ordeal to her mother. Following a complaint, a case under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO) was registered. Gore was later apprehended, the court was told.
Relying on statements of the witness, the Judge convicted Gore and awarded him 10 years of rigorous imprisonment.
