Three persons on Saturday were sentenced to 20 years of imprisonment for gang-raping a 15-year-old girl in Uttar Pradesh's Mahoba district.
The court has also imposed a fine of Rs 32,000 on each of the convicts.
Additional District Government Counsel Pushpendra Kumar Mishra said the judgement was delivered by a special judge of additional district and session court Santosh Kumar Yadav.
The 15-year-old girl was gang-raped in March 2019 and the three men forced her to continue a physical relationship with them for three months which led her to become pregnant, officials said.
The girl narrated her whole ordeal to her family in July after her health deteriorated.
