Three separate courts in India sentenced men to 20 years of rigorous imprisonment for sexually assaulting minor girls. The cases involved a 25-year-old in Hyderabad, a 60-year-old in Ghaziabad, and a man in Thane. Each conviction was based on victim testimony and evidence, with courts imposing fines and compensation where applicable. Investigations and prosecutions were commended for securing convictions under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and relevant IPC sections.
