Nagpur, January 31: A fast track court has asked a rape accused to choose between a five-year rigorous imprisonment or a wedlock with the victim in neighbouring Wardha district in Nagpur.

Additional Session judge G D Bansod asked accused Rahul Khemraj, found guilty of raping a minor girl, to either tie the knot with her or opt for a jail term of five years, awarded to him by the court on Wednesday.

The court also imposed a fine of Rs 10,000 and ordered a three-month prison term on default of payment.

Rahul had sexually abused the girl in the pretext of marrying her and later deserted her, following which she lodged a police complaint against him.

However, it is still unknown as to which option was taken up by the accused after the court announced the verdict on Wednesday.
