Mumbai: Observing that children below 12 years of age are becoming easy targets of assailants to fulfil their “physical needs”, a special court has sentenced a 28-year-old man to imprisonment for life for raping and brutalising a six-year-old girl in suburban Kandivli in 2014.
“Nowadays, children below 12 years become easy target of the assailants to fulfil their physical needs. The innocent children who really do not know anything about sex are becoming prey of such assailants,” POCSO Act court judge HC Shende stated in her order.
