Shahjahanpur (UP): Three decades after they raped and impregnated a 12-year-old girl, two brothers were sentenced to 10 years in prison in a case that surfaced after the victim’s son enquired about his father.
Government counsel Rajiv Awasthi on Thursday said, “The court of Additional Sessions Judge Lavi Singh Yadav on Wednesday convicted Guddu Hasan and Naki Hasan in the gang-rape case.”
“The court awarded 10 years’ imprisonment each to the brothers,” he added.
Naki Hasan (55) and Guddu Hasan (52) were arrested in 2022 after a case was lodged at Sadar Bazar police station on March 4, 2021. They were ordered to undergo a DNA test along with the victim and her son, police said.
According to the police report, the victim was living in the Sadar Bazar area of Shahjahanpur with her sister and brother-in-law in 1994. Naki Hasan, who lived in her locality, entered the house when she was alone and allegedly raped her.
His younger brother Guddu Hasan also raped her. The victim alleged that she was raped by both the accused on multiple occasions.
She had given birth to a boy, who was handed over to a relative and the survivor got married. However, her husband left her after he found out about the gang rape.
