Delhi Court Delivers Stern Verdict in Child Assault Case

A Delhi court has sentenced a man to five years of rigorous imprisonment for the 2016 sexual assault of a six-year-old. This ruling aligns with society's growing demand for justice against child predators.

Presided over by Additional Sessions Judge Manoj Kumar, the court heard arguments from both sides before deciding on the sentence, emphasizing the need to reflect societal abhorrence in legal verdicts.

The court also ordered compensation of Rs 3 lakh for the victim, aiming not just to punish but to help rehabilitate the child, who endures lasting physical and mental scars.
