In a significant ruling, a Fast Track Special Judge in LB Nagar sentenced Mande Anil, a 22-year-old mason from Sri Srinivasapuram Colony in Vanasthalipuram, to ten years of rigorous imprisonment for his involvement in a heinous case of sexual assault and abduction of a minor girl. The sentence was handed down on October 15, 2024, under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, following a thorough examination of the evidence presented.
The case, registered under Vanasthalipuram Police Station as Cr.
