The convict, identified as Laben Bhuyan, was sentenced to 25 years of imprisonment under Section 6 of POCSO Act and under Section 376 (AB) of the IPC.
The court, additionally, also imposed a fine of Rs 10,000 and if the convict fails to pay the fine within the stipulated time then he will have to serve an additonal imprisonment of 3 months.
