REWARI: A man has been sentenced to rigorous imprisonment for life after a court here held him guilty of raping his 85-year-old neighbour at Nangal village under Khol police station of the district.
Additional sessions judge Sanjeev Jindal held him guilty in the verdict delivered on June 11 and imposed a fine of Rs 10,000 on the convict.
Ashok had intruded into the widow's chamber, where she was sleeping alone, at midnight on January 22, 2012. After raping the 85-year old woman, he had attempted to kill her by pressing her mouth and throat with his hands, on account of which she fell unconscious, prosecution said.
The judge in his verdict mentioned, "The commission of the heinous acts on the part of the accused Ashok clearly shows that he has extreme type of beastly instincts in him and that his very presence in the society would be dangerous to the public at large.
"In these circumstances, the court is of the considered view that a deterrent punishment is required to be awarded to the accused so as to cast a deterrent effect on others to desist from such type of misadventure," he said.
