Chandigarh: A fast track court in Chandigarh has sentenced a girls' hostel warden to 12 years of rigorous imprisonment for sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl in a sports academy.

Based on the complaint, the women's hostel warden was arrested and a case was registered under sections 6 and 10 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offenses Act at Sector 19 police station.
