Migrant labourer held guilty of sodomising, killing 5-year-old boy in Punjab
Sentencing is scheduled for September 18, following the crime's outrage and protests against migrants in the state.
A special fast-track court operating under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act has convicted a migrant worker for the abduction, sexual assault and murder of a five-year-old boy.
The court found the accused, Nanke Yadav, a native of Uttar Pradesh, guilty under Section 103 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for murder and Section 6 of the POCSO Act for aggravated penetrative sexual assault.
