A man has been sentenced to life imprisonment for repeatedly raping and sodomising his nine-year-old daughter with a Delhi court saying he showed no respect for the chastity of his offspring.
The court awarded the maximum jail term, prescribed for the offence of rape under the law, to the Delhi resident and observed that she was sexually assaulted by her father and could not tell about the incident to anyone on account of threats extended by him.
It also directed the Delhi government to give Rs two lakh compensation to the child, who is staying at a reform home here, under the ‘Restorative and Compensatory Justice’ scheme for her welfare. Despite the fact that the child was a pillar of strength for her parents, the convict, instead of showing his love and affection to the child, sexually abused her.
