MP man gets death for rape and murder of minor
In a speedy trial, a 26-year-old man was sentenced to death by a local court
for raping and killing a 6-year-old girl here in April this year.
District and Sessions Judge Rajiv Sharma, while awarding the death penalty
yesterday, observed that people like Kamlesh Kushwaha (the accused) are
"cancerous" to the society and hence its necessary to eliminate them in the
same manner just as doctors remove cancer tumours surgically for saving
people's lives.
The hearing in the case began on July 15 and it was completed in only 8 days,
according to public prosecutor Rajendra Tiwari.
On April 18, Kushwaha, a resident of Maheba village raped and murdered the girl
belonging to Dongarpur village.
Kamlesh, who was living in Dongarpur with a relative took the girl to a farm on
some pretext and committed the crime.
Postmortem reports had confirmed rape and also 21 injuries were found on the
girl's body following which the accused was arrested.
