A Junnar court sentenced a 35-year-old farmer to two years in prison for molesting a married woman in a field in 2016. He was also fined Rs 10,000, which will be given to the victim as compensation. The court found the farmer guilty based on testimony from five witnesses, including the victim. The judge noted the serious mental impact on the victim and rejected the defense's request for a lighter sentence. If the farmer does not pay the fine, he will face an additional six months in prison. The court described the act as heinous and despicable.
