An Additional Sessions Judge (Fast Track Special Court under POCSO Act), Jagadhri, sentenced two men to 20-year rigorous imprisonment in a sexual abuse case.
Special Public Prosecutor (Deputy District Attorney) Sudhir Sindher said the Additional Sessions Judge also imposed a fine of Rs 20,000 each on Ashish Kumar alias Billa, and Shubham, both residents of Ambli village of Ambala district.
He said the convicts would further undergo a simple imprisonment for a period of one year in default of payment of fine.
According to information, a man residing in a village of Yamunanagar district registered an FIR at Sadhaura police station on December 16, 2024, stating that his 14-year-old daughter had gone missing from home. The girl was recovered by the police on December 18.

However, the accused took her near a tubewell, where Ashish sexually abused her, while Shivam was also present there.
