New Desk: A 47-year old man from Maharashtra was awarded death penalty by the Supreme Court of India for raping a 4 year old minor girl and stoning her to death.
The accused is said to be the victim's neighbor and the victim had always called the accused ‘uncle'.
The apex court said that the case comes under rarest of the rare category as the child trusted him.
The three-judge bench in an unanimous decision said that the accused deserved nothing but death penalty as he betrayed the child's trust, raped and murdered her brutally and can be a threat to other young girls as well.
