After 9 Years BJP MLA Ramdular Gond Finally Slapped With 25-year Sentence For Raping Teenager

BJP MLA Ramdular Gond has been handed a 25-year prison sentence and Rs 10 lakh fine by the MP-MLA Court for raping a teenage girl.

BJP’s Ramdular Gond, the MLA from Duddhi in Sonbhadra, Uttar Pradesh, has been handed a 25-year prison sentence and a Rs 10 lakh fine by the MP-MLA Court for raping a teenage girl. The entire fine amount will be awarded to the victim. The verdict comes after an arduous eight-year legal battle since the case was filed at Myorpur police station in November 2014.

Judge Ehsanullah Khan of the MP-MLA Court issued the stringent sentence, directing the full fine to be paid to the victim. The ruling has dealt a severe blow to the BJP and the MLA’s supporters, spelling likely legislative loss for Ramdular Gond following this verdict. The MLA’s legal representative has stated intentions to contest the decision in the high court.
