A district court has awarded 10 years of rigorous imprisonment to a Delhi resident for raping his 10-year-old stepdaughter in Noida.

Besides, the court also slapped a fine of ₹2,000 on the convict who is a construction worker.

“Additional Session Judge Ram Naresh Maurya held Bhura Singh guilty and awarded 10 years rigorous imprisonment and a fine of ₹2,000. He was held guilty on the basis of the statements of the rape victim, her mother, and medical reports which corroborated their version,” District Government Counsel Chaman Prakash Sharma said on Saturday.

The mother of the victim, also a construction worker, had married Bhura Singh, 30, after the death of her husband.
