An 82-year-old man has been convicted of raping his own grand-daughter and sentenced to 11 years in prison by Dolakha District Court. A single bench of Justice Thakur Prasad Sharma convicted an octogenarian grandfather, of Sunkhani VDC-4, on the charge of raping his own grand-daughter two months back. The court has imposed a fine of Rs 50,000 on him along with the imprisonment. According to the statements recorded at the court, the felon lured the 4-year-old and 10-year-old granddaughters to the room and raped the elder one in front of her younger sister. He lured them into the room by giving biscuit, chocolates, and Rs 20. The old man had threatened to kill the little girls if they shared the incident with anyone, the evidence submitted at the court suggests. He had intimidated the children with threats of throwing them in a river or kicking them out of the house. Based on the evidence, the court sent the man behind bars for rape and incest. In a similar case, Dolakha District Court had earlier sentenced 56-year-old Punya Prasad Dhungel of Lamidada (living at Jhyaku) to eight years in prison for raping an 11-year-old girl. He was slapped a fine of Rs 75,000. The District Court has issued a verdict on seven out of 13 rape cases filed in the last one year period. The court has given the verdict in favor of the victim in those cases.
