Thane: A local court has sentenced a 60-year- old man to three years simple imprisonment for outraging modesty of his minor daughter.

Additional Sessions Judge V V Bambarde recently sentenced the man after he was found guilty under IPC section 354-B. Public prosecutor Sanjay Londhe, in his submission, told the court that the accused returned to India in 2006 from Saudi Arabia. He started to molest his daughter, who was then studying in class XII. He repeated the offence on several occasions when the victim was alone at home and continued it for nearly four years.
