Jodhpur/Jaipur, Oct 22 (PTI) In an apparently emerging trend defying the justice-delayed-justice-denied syndrome, yet another court in Rajasthan sentenced a child rapist and killer to death on Friday, barely in a month after the commission of the crime.
A special POCSO court in Merta city in the Nagaur district awarded the death penalty to a 25-year-old man after convicting him of raping and killing a seven-year-old girl on September 20 this year in a village under the Padukalan police station in the district. Special Judge Rekha Rathore sentenced the convict Dinesh Jat, a maternal uncle of the victim, terming his offence as “the rarest of rare” after holding the trial continuously for 11 days, Special Public Prosecutor Sumer Singh said.Please log in to get detailed story.
