Additional District Judge-5-cum-Special POCSO court judge, Sanjay Kumar Upadhyay, had convicted Shiv Kumar Mahato, Indrapal Saini and Srikant in the case on Tuesday. The quantum of punishment was pronounced on Saturday.

The court also slapped a fine of Rs 80,000 each. In default of payment of the fine, they will have to undergo imprisonment of additional three years.
