Man sentenced for criminal assault
Staff Reporter
NEW DELHI: A court here has sentenced a man to seven years’ rigorous imprisonment for criminally assaulting a woman in her house at Nangloi in the Capital three years ago.
Additional Sessions Judge Narottam Kaushal, sentencing Raj Kumar alias Petal, also slapped a fine of Rs.5,000 on him. His two accomplices Raj Kumar and Deepak were acquitted as the charge could not be proved against them beyond reasonable doubt.
Rejecting the defence argument that there were no injuries on the victim’s body, the court said mere absence of injuries was not enough to acquit the accused when all other circumstances pointed to the offence being committed. The court said the defence could not give any tenable reason for the presence of the accused in the victim’s house from where he was arrested after the woman had raised an alarm.
