A sessions court sentenced a man to 10 years' rigorous imprisonment on charge of raping a 10-year-old girl in an apartment at Walkeshwar.
The accused, Ramsingh Kahar, committed the crime at author Gita Piramal's father's house in Mulchand Bhavan near Babulnath temple. Piramal herself turned up as a witness and supported the prosecution in court.
Piramal's NRI brother and sister-in-law Ruchi Kejariwal would stay in Mulchand Bhavan flat whenever they came to Mumbai and Kahar, a servant with one of their relatives, would work for the family.
