A sessions court in Maharashtra’s Pune on Monday pronounced capital punishment for Bhimrao Kamble, who was convicted last week for the rape and murder of a three-and-a-half-year-old girl in Nasrapur.
In its ruling, the court of SR Salunkhe, observed that the case falls under rarest of the rare category and therefore convict to be “hanged till death”.
The crime took place on May 1 when the child was at her grandmother’s house in Bhor tehsil’s Nasrapur for the summer vacation. The accused lured her away to a shed near a cattle barn between 3 pm and 4 pm with the promise of snacks and a newborn calf. Here, he subjected her to severe sexual assault and then murdered her.
