New Delhi: Rape convict Manoj Shah assaulted some media persons on Saturday outside the courtroom on Saturday. Shah is one of the convicts in the rape case of a five-year-old girl in east Delhi in 2013.
The incident happened while he was being taken out of the POSCO court room. Shah hit some senior reporters while they were shooting his video. He also tried to break their phones.
The issue was brought to the notice of additional sessions judge Naresh Kumar Malhotra, who asked one of the senior woman reporters to give a written complaint to the Station House Officer.
The judge then sent her for medical examination.
The POCSO court convicted Shah and another man, Pradeep Kumar, in the case, saying the child experienced exceptional depravity and extreme brutality.
Shah and Kumar had raped the girl at Gandhi Nagar area and shoved objects in her private parts on April 15, 2013. They had fled after committing the crime and leaving the girl at Shah's room after believing her to be dead. The child was rescued 40 hours later on April 17, 2013.
