HYDERABAD: The Fast Track Court for POCSO cases at LB Nagar found a 25-year-old private firm employee guilty of sexually assaulting a minor girl and sentenced him to 20 years of rigorous imprisonment. According to a release, the court also imposed a fine of Rs 32,000 and directed officials to extend Rs 1.5 lakh compensation to the survivor.
The survivor’s mother was in a live-in relationship with the convict and lived with him and her minor daughter within Pahadishareef police station limits.
During this period, he subjected the girl to repeated sexual harassment and threatened her with dire consequences if she disclosed the abuse. He also threatened to circulate explicit photographs and videos of the woman and her daughter.

Following the complaint, Pahadishareef police registered a case and filed a chargesheet after completing the investigation. The court convicted him after trial.
