20-year-old man gets 20-year RI for raping minor in Hyderabad
A 20-year-old man, K Mahesh alias Bunny, was sentenced to 20 years of rigorous imprisonment for raping a minor girl in Hyderabad. Mahesh, a construction worker, was found guilty of locking the girl in her home and sexually abusing her. The court also imposed a fine of Rs. 5,000 and ordered a compensation of Rs. 5 lakh for the victim's rehabilitation. This case follows a similar verdict delivered by the same court in February 2025, where a 40-year-old man, V Sudhakar, was sentenced to 20 years for raping a minor girl on school premises. Both cases highlight the alarming issue of child sexual abuse in Hyderabad.05:44 PM Apr 01, 2025 IST
