Amitava Banerjee, MP, 2 Sept 2024, Darjeeling: The Special POCSO court of Kalimpong convicted a 31-year-old youth and his mother to 10 years of rigorous imprisonment under Section 6 of the POCSO Act.
The case, which was reported to the police on November 4, 2018, involved a 14-year-old girl who was sexually assaulted by one Amon Rai, leading to her pregnancy.
According to the complaint, upon discovering the pregnancy, the mother of the accused, Bindu Rai, provided the victim with an abortion pill, which caused severe bleeding and led to the termination of the pregnancy.
