Mumbai court sentences man to prison for rape

A Mumbai court sentenced a man to eight years in prison for the 2018 rape and assault of a woman with schizophrenia. The court cited the exploitation of her vulnerability as a key factor in the sentencing. The 38-year-old man, Pradeep Tiwari, was convicted based on forensic evidence, including DNA analysis of semen stains. The victim, who had been stranded after an argument, accepted a ride from Tiwari, who then took her to a secluded location. The court considered Tiwari's family and potential for reform when determining the sentence, which was slightly above the minimum. The victim's testimony and medical evidence supported the conviction.
