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.
