However, as the girl neared puberty, she was repeatedly raped and physically abused by her father.

Additional District and Sessions Judge Lalbiakzama convicted the man to 10 years for the rape and three years for the physical abuse. The judge, however, showed leniency because of the man’s ill-health.
