A Special Protection of Children from Sexual Offenses (POCSO) Court in Jharkhand has sentenced two people to life in jail and fined them Rs 50,000 each for raping a 10-year-old girl.

Sodhan Manjhi and Umesh Manjhi, both accused, kidnapped the juvenile victim in Kurdeg in June 2019.

The girl was resting in the courtyard of her relative’s house in Kasiarpaani village, Kurdeg Police Station Area, where she had come to attend a wedding ceremony.

The two had kidnapped the girl and took her to a remote location where they raped her.

The case was then filed under the relevant provisions of the Indian Penal Code and the POCSO Act by the police.
