Mumbai: A special court has on Wednesday sentenced a 27-year-old man to 15 years rigorous imprisonment for having sexual intercourse with a 17-year-old on the promise of marriage and cheating her by taking her gold ornaments.
The court said, âIn the present case, the prosecutrix trusted the words of the accused. The accused took advantage of the trust shown by the prosecutrix.
