A 37-year-old man was recently sentenced by a court in Thane in Maharashtra to three years in jail for molesting a minor girl in 2014.

In his order on January 8, Special (POCSO) Judge HM Patwardhan convicted Nabiulla Samani under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act and also fined him Rs 2,000.
