Death row for man who raped and killed minor

-

A special court sentenced a man to death for raping and murdering a minor girl in 2019.

Special Judge J A Thakkar awarded capital punishment and also slapped a fine of Rs130,000 on Sanjay Baria.

The Judge observed, “Sanjay Baria raped and strangulat­ed the girl, who was just a little older to his daughter. It was a heinous crime but Baria has no remorse for the offence he has committed, that is why this case is rarest of rare.”

As there were no eyewitness­es to the crime, police used a sniffer dog that tracked the body and led them to Baria.
