A court in Delhi has sentenced a man to life imprisonment for raping his 10-year-old daughter. The man was convicted under the strict law against child sex abuse.
"The scenario is horrific and when this horrific offence comes to be committed by one's s own father, who for the child, is supposed to be a saviour and a protector, the resultant physical, mental and psychological damage is immeasurable and unfathomable," the court said.
The court also directed the Delhi State Legal Services Authority (DLSA) to pay Rs 5 lakh to the child, who is now 13-year-old.
