Muzaffarpur shelter home: Lifer for Brajesh
Brajesh Thakur has been sentenced to life imprisonment for sexually and physically assaulting several girls in a shelter home in Bihar's Muzaffarpur district.
Patna: Brajesh Thakur has been sentenced to life imprisonment for sexually and physically assaulting several girls in a shelter home in Bihar's Muzaffarpur district.
A Delhi court on Tuesday pronounced judgment in the Muzaffarpur shelter home sexual assault case and sentenced Brajesh Thakur to life in prison.
Additional Sessions Judge Saurabh Kulshreshtha sentenced Thakur to life imprisonment for the remainder of his natural life. Brajesh Thakur was convicted of sexually and physically assaulting several girls at a shelter home in Muzaffarpur.
The matter had come to light on May 26, 2018, after Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) submitted a report to the Bihar government highlighting the alleged sexual abuse of minor girls in the shelter home for the first time.
The court on January 20 had convicted Brajesh Thakur, who once unsuccessfully contested assembly polls on Bihar People's Party (BPP) ticket, of several offences, including aggravated penetrative sexual assault under Section 6 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, and offences of rape under the Indian Penal code (IPC).
