A man named Ramjan Khan, who is 30 years old, was sentenced to 20 years of rigorous imprisonment by the Fast Track Special Court in Bhubaneswar on Tuesday. This decision was made after he was found guilty of raping a minor girl in 2018. In addition to the prison sentence, the court also ordered Khan to pay a fine of Rs10,000 for the offence under Section 376AB of the IPC. If he fails to pay the fine, he will have to serve an additional two months in jail, stated special public prosecutor Rajib Samal and additional public prosecutor Balaram Sahoo.
Sources reveal that the incident took place on October 26, 2018, when Khan, who was selling toys in Dumduma area of Bhubaneswar, spotted the minor girl waiting for an autorickshaw. Taking advantage of the girl being alone, Khan raped her. Thankfully, a passerby heard the girl's cries and came to her rescue. The locals later caught Khan and handed him over to the Khandagiri police. He was then charged under several Sections of the IPC, including 341 and 354, and Section 6 of POCSO Act.
The court's decision has brought justice to the victim and her family, who have been waiting for closure since the incident. The severity of the punishment reflects the gravity of the crime committed by Khan, and it serves as a warning to others who may try to harm innocent children. The judicial system has once again proven that it will not tolerate such heinous acts and will take necessary actions to ensure that the perpetrators are brought to justice.
