The Special Sessions Judge / Fast Track Court for Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO) on Tuesday convicted a 34-year-old man from Musheerabad in a July-2022 case and awarded him life imprisonment.

Accused Musthala Ravi, a centering worker hailing from Nizamabad, the police found, performed unnatural sex with a three-year-old boy and bit and showered blows on him. The boy succumbed to injuries while undergoing treatment at Gandhi Hospital.

Ravi had been in an extra-marital affair with the boy’s mother, Naga Laxmi, who as per their plan wanted him to finish off her three-year-old son in her absence, as he remained a hindrance to their meetings at the house.
