In a significant verdict delivered on Tuesday, a special POCSO court sentenced Avinash Pandey to life imprisonment for the kidnapping and rape of a six-year-old girl. This marks a crucial step in justice being served for the heinous crimes committed by the convict, identified as a 'serial rapist.'

The police investigation revealed that Pandey was linked to multiple similar cases where young girls aged between five and eight had vanished briefly. A unique, child-sensitive investigative approach allowed victims to identify Pandey, who was arrested after crucial evidence, including photographs on his phone, was uncovered.

The court's decision to impose a life sentence highlights the gravity of Pandey's actions and provides a sense of justice to the community affected by his crimes. The verdict on two additional cases against him is yet to be delivered, as the authorities continue to seek justice for all victims involved.
