A 23-year-old garment salesman has been sentenced to three years' rigorous imprisonment for sexually abusing a minor customer while helping her try out a garment.

The salesman had claimed the girl's mother had falsely implicated him after he refused to offer her a discount.  However, special Judge Anis A J Khan, in his order, said a mother will not put her daughter's "chastity at stake" just for a price discount.
