Telangana Special Fast Track Court Announces Compensation for Rape Survivor\'s Son
Hyderabad: In the first of its kind verdict in Telangana, a court announced compensation to the son of a rape survivor. The Special Fast Track Court for Pocso Act cases at Shadnagar announced Rs 10 lakh compensation to the survivor, who was then 13, and Rs 5 lakh to her son born out of the relationship.
