A man has been given a seven-year jail term for kidnapping and sodomising a two-and-a-half-year-old child behind a gurudwara here by a Delhi court, which said he does not deserve any leniency.
Additional Sessions Judge Atul Kumar Garg awarded the sentence to Surender, a Punjab resident, and also imposed a fine of Rs 15,000 on him, saying, he subjected the minor to unnatural lust.
“The evidence of the expert establishes the fact that the child was subjected to sodomy and prosecution witness no 3 (woman) had seen the accused committing sodomy with the child.
“The documentary evidence as well as oral testimony of the witnesses establish the case of the prosecution that it was accused, who had kidnapped the child from his legal guardian with an intent to subject him to unnatural lust and in fact committed sodomy,” the court said.
It held Surender guilty of the offences of kidnapping in order to subject a person to grievous hurt or slavery and sodomy under the IPC.
“Considering the entirety of the circumstances, no leniency is required to be given to such a person in awarding the sentence,” the court said.
