Jammu, Aug 31: A local court today awarded 10 year rigorous imprisonment to Kapoor Raj, son of Thodu Ram of Bhura Chak Phallain Mandal, who was facing trial in rape case.
After hearing APP Surekha Bhat, 3rd Additional Sessions Judge Haq Nawaz Zargar observed “though all sexual assaults on female children are not reported and do not come to light yet there is an alarming and shocking increase of sexual offences committed on children”.
“This is due to the reasons that children are ignorant of the act of rape and are not able to offer resistance and becomes easy prey for lusty brutes who display the unscrupulous, deceitful and insidious art of luring female children and young girls”, the court said, adding “the offenders who are menace to the civilized society should be mercilessly and inexorably punished in the severest terms”.
With these observations, court awarded 10 years RI.
