The man had raped his stepdaughter repeatedly over three months, until she got pregnant; high court said the convict did not deserve any mercy and refused to mitigate his life sentence

Four years after a man repeatedly raped his 15-year-old stepdaughter and impregnated her, he found no sympathy from the Nagpur Bench of Bombay High Court, where he had filed an appeal against his life sentence. Rejecting the monster stepfather's appeal, the court noted that there should be no leniency for someone who is in a protector's position but becomes a perpetrator of abuse instead.
