Mumbai Shakti Mills rape cases: Death penalt

MUMBAI: The three repeat offenders in the Shakti Mills gang-rape cases have been awarded death sentence by sessions court.

Awarding death penalty to the three, the court said, "Mumbai gang rape accused have least respect for law. They don't have potential for reformation as per facts of case."

The suffering that gang-rape survivor and her family has undergone is unparalleled, the court said.

Mumbai gang-rape accused were emboldened since law enforcing agencies hadn't caught them. If this is not the case where death sentence prescribed by law is not valid, which is? the judge said.

Exemplary and rarest of rare punishment is required in the case, the judge said, adding, crime violates all rights of survivor.

Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam had demanded the maximum punishment for the three repeat offenders.

Finally verdict came...

Finally yes and hopefully such verdict will put some fear in the law offenders mind and they will fear to commit crime.

Good the verdict was given for these repeated offenders.. But, these people can still appeal to higher court.. Hopefully their appeal gets turned down by all courts.

Applaud this mile stone judgement. 👏 It is perhaps first of it kind when death penalty is awarded to culprits in rape cases.It can deter the offenders from committing this brutal crime. Hope upper courts will have similar views regarding the punishment.
