The Story in Brief
A fast-track POCSO court in Nuh has sentenced a man to five years of rigorous imprisonment and fined him Rs 10,000 for molesting a 17-year-old girl and assaulting her family in 2018, police said on Wednesday. The incident took place on June 6, 2018, in a village under Pingawan police station limits.
According to the police, two men tried to grab the girl as she stepped out to dispose of garbage around 4.30 am. She escaped and told her family, who went to the accused's house to complain. The next day, about a dozen people, including the accused, attacked her family with sticks, causing a pregnant relative to suffer a miscarriage. Additional Sessions Judge Dr Ashu Sanjeev Tinjan pronounced the sentence on August 11, and non-payment of the fine means three additional months in jail.
The Indian Opinion
This sentence cannot undo the family's loss of a pregnancy, but it shows POCSO courts can convict when police and prosecutors do their job. The narrative that fast-track courts only clear backlogs misses that they also deliver justice. The real test is whether the attackers acted alone or with caste or political backing, as is typical in such cases. Will the court disclose the identity and motive of the jailed man? That number will settle the question.
