Palwal (Haryana) (PTI): A special POCSO court here has sentenced a man to death for raping his minor daughter for three years, a senior police official said on Saturday.
In the verdict announced on Friday, Special Judge Prashant Rana also imposed a fine of Rs 15,000 on the man and directed the government/District Legal Services Authority (DLSA) to pay the victim a compensation of Rs 10.5 lakh.
