A Delhi court sentenced Haryana gangster Vikas Gulia and his associate to life imprisonment under MCOCA but refused the death penalty, holding the case does not meet the “rarest of the rare” standard. The court noted the convicts’ reign of terror and multiple serious crimes, while stressing that capital punishment is reserved for exceptionally brutal cases.
A POCSO court in Kolkata’s Bankshall Court has given the death sentence to a man for raping a 7-month-old baby. He was found guilty of kidnapping, raping, and trying to kill the child in the Burtolla area. The court convicted him within 75 days of his arrest, delivering quick justice. This judgment shows the court’s strong stand against crimes against children.
