A Mumbai sessions court on Thursday convicted Vishal Khajania, 24, in a rape case and sent him to prison for seven years, while acquitting his brother, Pinto Khajania, who was also named as an accused in the case. The judgment in the case came a year after the trial began, and was given by special women’s court judge, A S Shende.

Vishal was punished under Section 376 (rape) of the Indian Penal Code and was directed to pay Rs 1 lakh as fine, of which Rs 50,000 would be given to the survivor and the other half to her son, who was borne from the convict.
