A special CBI court on June 6 awarded 10 years jail sentence to five persons, including Mohd Ashrif Mir, a former DSP of J&K Police and an encounter specialist; KC Padhi, former DIG of BSF; Shabbir Ahmad Laway, Shabbir Ahmad Langoo and Masood Ahmad in 2006 Jammu & Kashmir sex scandal case.<\/span><\/p>\n

All five accused were sentenced to imprisonment under Section 376 (rape) of the Ranbir Penal Code by Additional District and Sessions Judge Gagan Geet Kaur.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Central Bureau of Investigation court in Chandigarh imposed fine of Rs 1 lakh each on Padhi and Mir and Laway, Langoo and Ahmad were fined Rs 50,000 each.<\/span><\/p>\n

There were total nine accused in the case out of which two accused Anil Sethi, former Additional Advocate General of Jammu and Kashmir and businessman Mehruj-ud din Malik were acquitted due to benefit of doubt. The other two accused Sabeena and her husband Abdul Hamid Bullah died during the course of the trial.<\/span><\/p>\n

The case was first registered on 14 March 2006, at the Shaheed Gunj police station in Srinagar, under Section 67 of the Information Technology Act, back after the J&K police discovered two pornographic videotapes showing Kashmiri minor girls being sexually exploited.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the charge sheet filed, the minor victims were blackmailed and forced into prostitution for Rs 250 to Rs 500.<\/span><\/p>\n

Judgment reads<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The fine amount be applied in the payment to the prosecutrix is as compensation for the loss of her reputation, dignity, mental harm and loss of opportunity of education.<\/span><\/p>\n

The contention by convicts i.e. not having knowledge of the age of prosecutrix at the time of occurrence has no weight at all and rejected at the very outset.<\/span><\/p>\n

The manner in which the convict Laway and Ahmad committed rape upon the minor prosecutrix on the same day at same place does not warrant any leniency.<\/span><\/p>\n

The convict Langoo committed rape upon her twice even when she did not accept his proposal of marriage.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
