Patna: Within nine days of a crime, a Bihar court
Saturday awarded the death penalty to a man who raped and murdered
a three-year-old girl, a lawyer said.
District and Sessions Court of Bateshwar Nath Pandey based in
Katihar, about 160 km from here, handed out death penalty to
Sanjay Rishi for the rape-cum-murder of the victim who was related
to him, a prosecutor said.
The court described the incident as "rarest of rare" and sent
Rishi to the gallows for the Jan 24 incident.
According to police chargesheet, Rishi first raped the victim and
then killed her in a village in Katihar.
Police officials said that it was the first time that any court in
Bihar had awarded death to a rapist in a record time of nine days
after the shocking Dec 16, 2012 gang-rape of a student in Delhi
that triggered protests across the country.
