Udalguri Court Sentences Man to 20 Years for 2015 Rape Case

The District and Sessions Judge of Udalguri, N Senabaya Deori, has sentenced Md. Nur Ali to 20 years of rigorous imprisonment for the 2015 rape of a girl in Rowta, Udalguri district. Additionally, Ali has been fined Rs. 30,000 under Section 376(D) of the IPC. The court acquitted the other accused, Md. Sanaullah Ali, due to lack of substantial evidence.

The crime occurred when Ali allegedly lured the victim while she was traveling from Rowta to Dalgaon. Following a thorough investigation and medical examination, Rowta police registered the case (Rowta PS case no. 67/15). After years of trial and testimonies from 13 witnesses, the court convicted Md. Nur Ali. The court also directed the District Legal Service Authority to grant Rs. 5 lakhs in compensation to the victim’s family under the victim compensation scheme.
