Aizawl:
A court in Mizoram's Champhai
district has sentenced a man to 10 years rigorous imprisonment
for raping his 11-year-old daughter.
Additional District and Sessions Judge of Champhai
district R Vanlalena yesterday convicted Lalhriattluanga of
Vanzau village and also imposed a fine of Rs 9,000 on him.
The judge said the evidence against the accused was
overwhelming.
Lalhriattluanga raped his daughter in 2013 and had
repeated the incest act a number of times as the girl was
afraid to report the matter to other people, the prosecution
said.
The maternal grandfather of the girl lodged an FIR at the
Champhai police station against Lalhriattluanga following
which he was arrested.
