Kolkata, January 21: A Barasat Pocso court has sentenced a 62-year-old man to 20 years of rigorous imprisonment for sexually assaulting a five-year-old girl at his Salt Lake home, where she had gone for tuition with his daughter. The court also ordered a fine of INR 50,000. Special public prosecutor Mrinal Das said, "Crimes like these deserve no forgiveness. We are content with the sentence given to the accused."
