The judgment of the Delhi High Court records the following account. Delhi Police Constable brutally raped his three-and-a-half-year-old neighbour 'V' in Shikarpur village, leaving vaginal tears that hospitalised the child for eleven days. The trial court convicted him under sections 376 and 354 IPC and sentenced him to life imprisonment with a Rs 50,000 fine as victim compensation. The High Court held that the appellant, himself a member of the law-enforcing agency, had perpetrated a ghastly crime on a helpless child, and upheld the conviction. It reduced the sentence to a net twelve years' rigorous imprisonment without remission, recording his undertaking to pay the fine, shift his family out of Shikarpur and never contact the victim's family. Scope note: a neighbourhood (non-custodial) rape by a serving constable, so the subcategory is recorded as other rather than custodial rape. The convicted Delhi Police constable in this record is a different man from the convicted Delhi Police constable of Andha Mugal police post covered in companion records of this dataset; this judgment gives the unit only as Delhi Police. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.
