In the circumstances, the court does not find any reason whatsoever to interfere with the sentence awarded to the him for the offences,&#8221; it said.<br \/>\nThe incident took place on February 11, 2014, when the child&#8217;s father had come home to have lunch while he was playing outside his house.<br \/>\nWhen the boy did not return home for some time, he asked his wife to search for him and later lodged a missing complaint at Madhu Vihar Police Station in east Delhi.<\/p>\n<p>While searching for the child, the police reached a nearby photocopy shop and on showing the boy&#8217;s photograph were told that a man had taken him to the building&#8217;s roof.<\/p>\n<p>On opening the room, the police found the child along with the accused and seeing this, the agitated crowd started beating the man. Accused Vinod Soren was arrested.<br \/>\nIn his defence, the man claimed that the boy was brought to his room by some people who assaulted him and later, police came to save him.<br \/>\nSoren also claimed that he had not done any wrong act with the child and had been falsely implicated.<br \/>\nThe trial court, which had held him guilty of the offences and also imposed a fine of Rs 41,000, had directed that a compensation of Rs 7.5 lakh be paid to the victim.<br \/>\nThe high court, while dismissing the convict&#8217;s appeal, said that the correctness of the forensic analysis report was not questioned by him and the conclusion drawn by the trial court that this was a clinching piece of evidence to connect him with the crime cannot possibly be faulted.<br \/>\nIt noted that the victim was rescued from the convict&#8217;s room which was locked from inside and opened by him and said there was &#8220;more than adequate evidence&#8221;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Delhi:\u00a0The Delhi High Court has sentenced a man to life imprisonment for sodomising a three-and-a half-year-old boy, observing that the child was subjected to traumatic and brutal sexual assault.
