Malappuram: The Special POCSO Court in Manjeri sentenced a 60-year-old man to 145 years of rigorous imprisonment for the repeated and brutal sexual assault of a 12-year-old girl over one year. The court also imposed a fine of ₹8.77 lakh.

Additionally, the court directed the District Legal Services Authority to ensure further compensation to the survivor under the Victim Compensation Scheme.

The case was registered at the Malappuram Women’s Police Station. The accused, Krishnan (61), is from Kavanur near Areekode, and was residing at Embassy Quarters, Kottappadi, at the time of the arrest.
