In a significant ruling, a POCSO court in North Tripura has sentenced a 27-year-old man to life imprisonment for repeatedly raping a minor girl. The verdict also includes a 10-year sentence for the victim's mother and elder sister, who assisted in the crime.
Special Judge Angshuman Debbarma delivered the sentences on Monday, condemning Samir Naha to life imprisonment and a fine. The victim's mother and sister each received 10 years imprisonment and fines for their roles in the abuse.
Following over a year of sustained abuse, the victim sought help from Child Line, an NGO, leading to the arrest of Naha and her family members. The case highlights the critical role of NGOs in safeguarding children.
