The district court on Saturday sentenced a man to life imprisonment for raping a 90-year-old woman in 2015.

The court examined nine witnesses during the trial and their testimonies proved crucial, public prosecutor Amruta Patole said.

Judge Aditi Kadam sentenced Nalawade to life imprisonment while terming his act as “inhuman”, the prosecutor said.
