India, Sept. 6 -- A special fast track court sentenced two men to 20 years of rigorous imprisonment for repeatedly raping and threatening two minor girls in separate cases, officials said on Friday.

The court of additional sessions judge Jasmine Sharma also imposed a fine of Rs.50,000 and Rs. 55,000 on the two convicts while pronouncing their sentence after holding them guilty under sections 6 (aggravated penetrative sexual assault) of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and other provisions of Indian Penal Code.

In the first case, the convict was a 25-years-old man who lived in Palam Vihar, Sector 22 and had sexually assaulted a 16-year-old girl inside his rented accommodation in June 2023.
