Gurugram Man Sentenced to Five Years for Molestation and Assault on Family
A Gurugram court 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. The girl escaped an attempted molestation by two men and reported it to her family. The following day, the accused and others attacked the family, causing injuries to a pregnant woman who later miscarried. The sentence was pronounced by Additional Sessions Judge Dr. Ashu Sanjeev Tinjan, with an additional three months imprisonment if the fine is unpaid.
