Ranchi: Terming it the rarest of rate cases, a Ranchi
court Wednesday awarded the death sentence to a youth, Bijendra
Kumar, for beheading a girl in a college campus here last year.
Ranchi District Session Judge S.H. Kazmi had convicted Bijendra on
April 26 in gruesome murder of Khushboo on April 27, 2011 when she
was coming out from the classroom after appearing in the
intermediate examination in St. Xavier's College.
The awarding of sentence was earlier fixed for April 30 but was
deffered for Wednesday. The victim was a resident of Tupudana in
Ranchi and had met Bijendra in Jamshedpur while she was living
with her grandmother.
Bijendra, an engineering student, expressed his love for Khushboo
but she turned his proposal down. Khusboo shifted to Ranchi and
her marriage was later fixed. Bijendra was putting pressure on her
to get married to him.
Expressing happiness over the death sentence, Khushboo's father,
Lal Maheshwarnath Sahdeo said: "The death sentence will give
solace to soul of Khushoo. The judgment will prevent repetition of
such incidents."
