Agartala, Aug. 26 -- A special POCSO Court of North Tripura has convicted a person on charges of raping a minor. The court also convicted the mother and elder sister of the victim for their role in concealing facts related to the incident.

The court sentenced the prime accused, Samir Naha, to life imprisonment. It also found the victim's mother, Sadhana Chakraborty, and her elder sister, Shivani Chakraborty, guilty.

Special Court Judge Anshuman Debbarma pronounced the sentence. The court established that those who facilitate or conceal heinous crimes are as culpable as the perpetrators themselves.

The case dates back to 2021 when the minor and her family were living in a rented house in Nayapara, Dharmanagar.
