A series of severe sexual offenses against minors have led to significant legal outcomes in various regions. In Jeypore, a 63-year-old man, Balmiki Martha, was sentenced to life imprisonment for the rape of a six-year-old girl, with the court imposing a fine and compensating the victim. Similarly, in Karachi, a man received life imprisonment for raping his niece, with the court highlighting the vulnerability of the victim due to her parents' incarceration.
