New Delhi: A 73-year-old businessman has been sentenced to 10 years in jail by a Delhi court for repeatedly raping his neighbour's 20-year-old maid, who became pregnant and bore him a daughter.

Additional Sessions Judge M C Gupta held Ghanshyam Das Nandwani, resident of Ashok Vihar, guilty of raping the girl, after taking into consideration that the DNA profiling of the victim's baby matched with the convict. He was also convicted for threatening the maid not to disclose his acts to anyone or else she would be killed.
