Phulbani: A Kandhamal district court Saturday sentenced a 23-year-old man to 10 years in jail for raping a 15-year-old four years ago.
Phulbani special POCSO judge Bhaskar Chandra Sahu also slapped a penalty of Rs 55,000 on the convicted.
The incident occurred in 2018 after the accused established a relationship with the teenager. Her mother had lodged an FIR with the police after the girl became pregnant.
