. AGRA: A 34-year-old man from Mathura has been sentenced to life imprisonment for raping a 13-year-old mentally challenged girl. Special public prosecutor Rampal Singh said the incident came to light late on the night of Jan 19, 2024, when the girl’s mother woke up around 2am and found her daughter missing. “The family searched the area and, around 3.45am, spotted the girl walking back home with multiple injury marks and bleeding,” Singh said.The parents immediately took her to the local police station, where her father lodged an FIR against an unknown person under IPC sections 376 (rape), 323 (punishment for voluntarily causing hurt) and provisions of the Pocso Act. A subsequent medical examination confirmed that the minor, who was a Class 5 student at the time, had been raped.Later, in a statement given before the magistrate, recorded under CrpC section 164, the girl identified the accused, a neighbour, and said he had threatened to kill her if she disclosed the incident. Police then scanned footage from nearby CCTV cameras, traced the accused and arrested him three days later. He has remained behind bars since. Police also found that he had at least six criminal cases registered against him, including those related to criminal intimidation and rioting. While delivering the verdict on Monday, the special Pocso court of judge Brijesh Kumar-II in Mathura observed that the crime was “heinous in nature, particularly as it involved a minor with learning difficulties, and warranted the maximum punishment under the law”. It also imposed a fine of Rs 1.1 lakh on the convict, directing that the entire amount be paid to the girl’s family for her rehabilitation. In case of non-payment, the convict will have to undergo an additional year of imprisonment.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosDelhi HC Grants Bail To Kuldeep Sengar; Victim’s Sister Says ‘Put Us In Jail To Keep Us Safe’India Summons Bangladesh High Commissioner Over Violence Against Hindus, Protests Continue”No Cases Filed”: Prachy Accuses Yunus Administration Of Protecting Convicted TerroristsExperts Warn India As Yunus Loses Control In Bangladesh After Hadi Killing Sparks Unrest NationwidePAN-Aadhaar Deadline Nears: How To Link Before December 31 Or Risk Inoperative PAN From Next Year“Neither Janmat Nor Janpath”: Bjp Alleges Growing Rebellion Against Rahul Gandhi Within CongressPak PM Sharif’s Party Leader Threatens India, Warns Missiles Will Respond If Bangladesh Is TargetedIndia’s BrahMos Missile Goes Global As India Closes 0m Defence Pacts With Vietnam And Indonesia’Make Her PM & See…’: Congress MP Endorses Priyanka Gandhi; BJP Takes ‘No Faith In Rahul’ DigHanuman Chalisa Verse Echoes In Delhi As Hindu Lynching In Bangladesh Triggers High Voltage Protests123PhotostoriesDancing skylights: Why do auroras shine in different magical colours across skies?New seasons releasing on OTT in 2026: From ‘Bridgerton 4’ to ‘Euphoria 3’From Rajat Bedi to Akshaye Khanna: Best Bollywood comebacks of 202510 local Indian Christmas delicacies that are a must try5 latest bridal nath designs to elevate your traditional Indian wedding lookCosmic Fungi explained: The strange radiation-eating organisms found at Chernobyl8 classic Chicken Soups to keep you warm this winterMerry Christmas 2025: 10 famous classic Christmas dishes from around the worldAryan Khan with ‘The Ba***ds of Bollywood’; Tisca Chopra with ‘Saali Mohabbat’: Meet the debut directors of 2025From taking her first steps post delivery to updating fans on Kaju’s health and Laughter Chefs shoot, Bharti Singh shares an emotional hospital vlog123Hot PicksUAE WeatherPAN-Aadhaar linkingGold price predictionGold rate todaySilver rate todayPublic Holidays DecemberBank Holidays DecemberTop TrendingDwyane Wade WifeKai Cenat Mental HealthGeorge Kittle InjuryGiannis AntetokounmpoJack EichelCraig BerubePaul Heyman and Marla Heyman Net WorthDK MetcalfJade Cargill and Brandon Net WorthMax Holloway Net Worth

PM Modi NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday once again called for collective national efforts to reduce dependence on imports and strengthen India’s position in global supply chains, while urging citizens to avoid unnecessary spending of foreign currency during a period of global uncertainty.Speaking in Vadodara amid concerns over disruptions caused by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and volatility in global energy markets, the Prime Minister said India was continuously working to emerge as a major participant in international supply chains.”We are continuously working to make India a major participant in global supply chains,” PM Modi said, stressing that the country must use the present challenges as an opportunity to strengthen self-reliance and domestic manufacturing capabilities.The Prime Minister also appealed to citizens to support the government’s efforts by consciously reducing import dependence and avoiding activities that involve excessive foreign exchange outflow.”We must take all efforts to reduce the use of imports and avoid personal activities that involve spending foreign currency,” he said.Drawing parallels with previous national crises, PM Modi said Indians had historically responded with unity and responsibility whenever the country faced wars or major challenges.“Whenever India faced war or any major crisis, citizens fulfilled their responsibility on the government’s appeal. We need to do the same now,” the Prime Minister said.”Even in the earlier decades, whenever the country has gone through war or any other major crisis, every citizen has fulfilled their responsibility in the same way in response to the government’s appeal. Today, too, there is a need for all of us to come together and fulfil our responsibility to reduce the burden on the country’s resources. India spends lakhs of crores of rupees in foreign exchange to import many products from abroad. At the same time, the prices of imported goods are soaring, and global supply chains have also been severely disrupted. Just as every drop fills a pot, every small and big effort matters. We must reduce the use of products that come from abroad and avoid unnecessary dependence on imported goods in our daily lives, and also avoid such personal activities that involve spending foreign exchange,” PM Modi said.He also repeated his appeal for reduced fuel consumption and switch to public transport or electric vehicles while once again urging people to defer gold buying.The remarks come at a time when the government is closely monitoring the impact of the Middle East conflict on global oil prices, shipping routes and supply chains.
