The Punjab and Haryana High Court has decided to commute the death sentence imposed on a perpetrator convicted of a horrific rape case to life imprisonment. The case involves a 53-year-old individual who was found guilty of assaulting his wife, raping his 12-year-old daughter, and issuing death threats. The trial court initially sentenced the accused to death in November 2022, classifying the crime as a “rarest of rare” occurrence.
