MUZAFFARNAGAR: A POCSO court on Wednesday held a 23-year-old man guilty of raping a minor girl at Kookda village in Uttar Pradesh's Muzaffarnagar district in 2017.
Special Judge Sanjiv Kumar Tiwari held Sajid guilty under IPC section 376 (rape) and under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
He fixed September 24 to pronounce the quantum of punishment.
