Additional District and Sessions Courth Judge Vanlalenmawia on Tuesday sentenced the man to three years rigorous imprisonment and fined him Rs 1000 after finding him guilty of forcing his two daughters, aged 10 and 8, to touch his private parts and touching theirs in turn.
The girls’ parents had separated earlier and were living apart, the siblings living with their father at the time.
After almost a year since the molesting began, the sisters complained to their mother in February this year. The mother lodged an FIR with police and the man was subsequently arrested and kept in judicial custody.
