A young man has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for raping a minor girl in Palanpur. The court also imposed a fine of 50,000 rupees on him. The case began when the accused, Mukesh Daljibhai Gammanji, lured the 15-year-old girl from her home in a village in Palanpur. He tricked her into believing he was in love with her and then kidnapped her on his motorcycle.
The girl’s mother, who works as a labourer and takes care of animals, was away at the dairy to fetch milk when the incident happened. After kidnapping her, the accused repeatedly raped the minor girl despite knowing her age. This led to the police filing charges against him under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
The case was heard in the court of Amit J. Kanani, the Third Additional Sessions Judge in Palanpur. During the trial, Public Prosecutor Dineshkumar H. Chhapiya presented strong evidence against the accused. The court found him guilty and handed down a 20-year rigorous imprisonment sentence, along with a fine of 50,000 rupees.
This decision has been welcomed by the community, as it shows that justice can be served in such serious cases. Many citizens hope this will deter others from committing similar crimes. The case highlights the ongoing issues of child safety and the importance of strict laws to protect minors.
Palanpur is located in the Banaskantha district of Gujarat. It is known for its historical significance and beautiful landscape. The town has been part of Indian history for centuries, with many stories and legends tied to its past.
Recent events have raised awareness about the safety of children in Gujarat and across India. Many organisations are working to educate parents and children about the dangers and how to stay safe. Workshops and community meetings are being held to discuss these important issues.
Overall, the sentencing of Mukesh Daljibhai is seen as a step forward in the fight against child abuse. It reminds everyone of the need for vigilance and support for victims of such crimes. The community hopes that with continued efforts, the safety of children will improve in Palanpur and beyond.
