Indore, Feb 6: A man was sentenced to death by a court in Indore in Madhya Pradesh on Monday for killing a 7-year-old girl after abducting her with the intention of committing rape but failing to do so as she raised an alarm that attracted a mob.
Additional Sessions Judge and Special Judge (POCSO Act) Surekha Mishra sentenced Saddam (31) to death and also imposed a fine of Rs 9,000 on him, while directing the government to give Rs 3 lakh as compensation to the girl’s family. “The barbaric manner in which this crime has been committed by the accused crossing the limits of inhumanity makes it clear the accused is dangerous for the entire society,” the court said in its verdict.
