CHANDIGARH: A local court on Tuesday convicted one Om Prakash for raping a 13-year-old inmate of Snehalaya. Accused was convicted by additional district and sessions judge V P Sirohi. The quantum of sentence would be pronounced on Wednesday.
Victim was violated by the accused in September 2010 when she had gone to her maternal grandmother's home during vacations. Accused was the neighbour of victim's grandmother and had threatened her with dire consequences if she told anyone about the assault. After returning to Snehalya, the girl had complained of pain in abdomen, following which she was taken to Government Multi-speciality Hospital in Sector 16, where a medical examination confirmed that she was two months pregnant.
When the manager of Snehalaya informed the police about the incident, victim's grandmother had refused to be the complainant. Later, the girl told the police that she was raped by Om Prakash. In this case, the grandmother had also approached the court for the abortion of the victim.Link: Man held guilty of raping Snehalaya girl
