Chandigarh (Handa): The Punjab and Haryana High Court has rejected the appeal of Dhanwant Singh, who was convicted in the rape case of a girl in a Dera in 2000. The High Court has upheld his sentence of 10 years of rigorous imprisonment. Along with this, the petition filed by the victim, in which the sentence of the accused was increased to life imprisonment, was also rejected.
