The convict has also been fined Rs 22,000, which if not paid would extend his term of imprisonment by 33 months, Additional District Government Counsel Praveen Kumar Singh said.
Additional District Judge Vivekanand Saran Tripathi has sentenced tantric Mahesh Chandra to 15 years in jail for rape, six years for unnatural sex and one year for cheating. The sentences would run consecutively, Singh said.
The convict had then alleged that the accusations were made since he had asked the woman's husband to return Rs 35,000 loaned from him.
On the direction of the court, an FIR was registered on November 22 last year and the tantric was arrested.
