The Story in Brief
A Special Sessions Judge handling POCSO cases in Hyderabad has sentenced Mohmmed Mohsin, 45, to 10 years of rigorous imprisonment for raping a minor girl in 2019. The court also imposed a Rs 10,000 fine. The case was registered at Banjara Hills police station.
According to Siasat.com, the girl was staying with her siblings at Mohsin’s house because their home was overcrowded. She disclosed the assault after falling ill and her mother noticing stains on her clothes. Police recorded the mother’s complaint and referred the child to the Bharosa Centre, which provided counselling and follow-up support during the investigation and trial. Hyderabad Police Commissioner VC Sajjanar praised the agencies involved.
The Indian Opinion
Claims that every conviction proves the system is working, or that one delayed case shows nothing ever changes, are both lazy readings. The child’s disclosure, police investigation, court proceedings and support services all mattered here. The harder test is whether such cases are reported quickly and tried without long delays. Hyderabad should publish the time taken from complaint to conviction in POCSO cases, not just celebrate individual outcomes.
