New Delhi, April 19

A court here has convicted a man of committing aggravated penetrative sexual assault and impregnating his minor step daughter, saying the evidence on record established that the accused repeatedly raped her.

He was booked under penal provisions of rape and Section 6 POCSO Act. Special Public Prosecutor Sharawan Kumar Bishnoi appeared for the prosecution.
