The verdict, delivered on Wednesday by POCSO Court Judge K. Suresh Kumar, comes after a harrowing case revealed the depth of the abuse. According to the prosecution, the daily wage labourer repeatedly assaulted his daughter and threatened to kill her mother if she revealed the crime.

The mother immediately filed a complaint at the Nanguneri All Women’s police station.

In addition to the death sentence, the court imposed a fine of ₹25,000 on the perpetrator. Recognizing the profound trauma inflicted on the victim, the court also ordered the government to pay ₹10 lakh as compensation.
