Kerala court sentences man to total 18 yrs in jail for abetting suicide of teen girl
Kochi, Aug 6 (PTI) A special court here has sentenced a 23-year-old man for a cumulative of 18 years in prison for threatening to kill a teenage girl, leading to her suicide in 2020.
Special POCSO (Protection Of Children from Sexual Offences Act) court judge, K Soman, on Saturday sentenced Sibi to varying jail terms under the Indian Penal Code and also imposed a fine of Rs 1.20 lakh on him.
However, the convict will serve only 10 years in jail, the highest among the sentences given to him, as the court has ordered that the prison term in various charges shall run concurrently, the prosecutor said.
