The District and Sessions Court in Assam’s Udalguri has sentenced a man to twenty years of rigorous imprisonment for the rape of a girl in Rowta in 2015.

The judge found Md Nur Ali guilty under Section 376(D) of the IPC and imposed a fine of Rs 30,000.

Conversely, Md Sanaullah Ali, the other accused, was acquitted due to insufficient evidence.
