A Delhi court has sentenced a 22-year-old
man to one year's Rigorous Imprisonment and ordered him to pay a fine of
Rs 2,000 for molesting a 5-year-old girl.
Additional Sessions Judge Bimla
Makin found Mohammed Arif guilty of outraging the modesty of the girl on
March 26, 1999 near Sarai Rohilla. He had taken the child from her house
to a nearby dhobi ghat on the pretext of buying her some sweets.
The court also directed the convict
to pay the fine to the victim as compensation.
The prosecution had examined 15
witnesses to prove its case.
