New Delhi: A rapist, who has been sentenced to 14 years in jail and was asked to cough up a fine of Rs. 5 lakh by the Sixth Additional District and Sessions Court in Mysuru, has knocked the doors of the Supreme Court for bail, saying that he was ready to take care of the victim and her child (born to him). The Court has yesterday issued a notice to the State Government, seeking its response.
Thirty-three-year-old K.J. Mahesh Gowda, a real estate agent and the District President of BSR Congress, was jailed by the Sixth Additional District and Sessions Court on Dec. 21 last year as the Court found him guilty of repeatedly raping a 15-year-old girl and impregnating her.
