Kanpur: A shocking case has come to light from Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh. Here, the father who wrote the report of the rape of a minor daughter retracted his statement in court. The victim herself also changed her testimony, but the court sentenced the accused to seven years in jail for raping the minor. The court also imposed a fine of Rs 4,500 on the accused. The court held that the victim was a minor at the time of having a relationship, so her consent was of no importance. The victim, who is now the wife of the accused, kept crying with her one-and-a-half-year-old son in her arms after the sentence.

Special Public Prosecutor POCSO Bhavna Gupta has said that in the FIR lodged at Bithoor police station on June 25, 2018, the victim's father said that the 15-year-old daughter was going to the Sahajaura village procession. Disappeared from there. He had filed a case of molestation and POSCO against Sanjay Soni alias Amit, a resident of Chaubepur Kalan. The police arrested Sanjay and sent him to jail. A charge sheet was also filed against him. Both the father and the rape victim, who filed the report before the court, turned hostile.  

The victim, in her testimony, said she went with Sanjay of her own free will and had also had physical relations. They also got married in the temple. Now they also have a son, so leave the husband. The father also turned hostile in the court, but the court held that the consent of the minor was of no importance. Sanjay Soni alias Amit, who was out on bail, was taken into custody and sent to jail as soon as the court pronounced the sentence. Family members said Sanjay was released on bail one-and-a-half years after his arrest. He then married the victim and the two were living like husband and wife.
