A 58-year-old man was sentenced to one year rigourous imprisonment by a Thane court for molesting a mentally unwell teen girl.
Sessions Court Judge HK Pardeshi on Thursday also fined Rohidas Gangurde Rs 11,000 in the case.
As per the prosecution, the man, a resident of Srinagar locality in Wagle Estate, had taken the 18-year-old girl home in the intervening night of May 23-24 this year by promising her a mango and then molested and kissed her.
