A Rajasthan court on Tuesday sentenced a man to 20-year rigorous imprisonment for raping a minor girl, but criticised police for failing to arrest the main accused in the six-year-old case.
Special POCSO court Judge Seema Agarwal asked Jaipur-range Inspector General of Police and Sikar SP to inform the court about the progress made to arrest Pradeep Jat, the main accused, in the case.
She directed the SP to constitute a special team to arrest him, public prosecutor Shivratan Sharma said.
The judge sent Indraraj Jat to 20-year rigourous imprisonment, Sharma added.
The 17-year-old girl was raped on June 24, 2013.
