A special court in the city has sentenced a Kandivli man to 14 years of rigorous imprisonment for raping his minor niece multiple times in 2016. Special court judge S J Ansari passed the judgment last week and the detailed order was made available on Wednesday.
The judge said the 46-year-old man committed a “very serious offence” of repeatedly raping his own minor niece when she was under his guardianship for a short period of time. The abuse of the trust by the accused towards his niece is, therefore, quite apparent on the record. Such an accused, therefore, does not at all merit any leniency, she added. As per the prosecution, the victim, a 16-year-old girl, was brought up by her maternal family after the death of her mother. In November 2015, the victim’s father took the girl to reside with him at his home in Gujarat’s Ahmedabad.
