Army jawan gets imprisonment Updated: Updated: Share Article AAA The Mahila Court here on Tuesday awarded 10 years of imprisonment to an Indian army jawan for sexually abusing a woman under the pretext of marrying her. According to prosecution, Havildar T. Rajkumar, 42, from Keezha Sinthalacheri near Chinnamanur in Theni district, who was serving in Bengaluru, befriended a woman from a village near Ottapidaaram in Thoothukudi district, even as she was working with a private firm in Coimbatore. As the girl was working with Rajkumar’s friend, the army jawan managed to befriend her over the phone. When the woman had come to her native place in 2009, Rajkumar also came to Thoothukudi to see her. With the promise of marrying her, Rajkumar took the girl to a lodge in Thoothukudi where he sexually exploited her. He also tied the nuptial knot in a temple in a low-key affair and left her in her home, but never returned.
