A youth has been sentenced to seven years in jail by a Delhi court for raping and robbing a woman in her house here.<\/p>\n
Additional Sessions Judge Yashwant Kumar sentenced 28-year-old Kanhaiya saying those who commit the rape are “psychologically sadistic persons.”<\/p>\n
“Sexual offences constitute an altogether different kind of crime which is the result of a perverse mind. Those who commit rape are psychologically sadistic persons exhibiting this tendency in the rape forcibly committed by them.<\/p>\n
“While the murder destroys the physical frame of his victim, a rapist degrades and defiles the soul of a helpless female,” the judge said and also imposed a fine of Rs 30,000 on the convict.<\/p>\n
City resident Kanhaiya was arrested by police in October 2005 on woman’s complaint, which alleged he had barged into her house in North-West Delhi, when she was alone and had raped her. She had added that he had also robbed her of her valuables after raping her.<\/p>\n
The court convicted Kanhaiya saying the prosecution has been able to prove the case beyond doubt.<\/p>\n
Kanhaiya’s counsel pleaded for leniency to his client saying he is the sole bread earner for his family and that he has been in jail since October 7, 2005.<\/p>\n
The court, however, rejected his plea saying “none of the grounds justify imposition of less than minimum sentence in the present case.”<\/p>\n
It also said out of Rs 30,000 fine, imposed on convict, Rs 25,000 would be given to the victim.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
