April 16, 2004 04:10 IST

A Delhi court has sentenced a 22-year-old man to one year's Rigorous Imprisonment and ordered him to pay a fine of Rs 2,000 for molesting a 5-year-old girl.

Additional Sessions Judge Bimla Makin found Mohammed Arif guilty of outraging the modesty of the girl on March 26, 1999 near Sarai Rohilla. He had taken the child from her house to a nearby dhobi ghat on the pretext of buying her some sweets.

The court also directed the convict to pay the fine to the victim as compensation.

The prosecution had examined 15 witnesses to prove its case.
