In a shocking case, a Delhi court has declared a juvenile guilty of the rape and murder of a 60-year-old woman, committed in 2017. The court revealed disturbing details of the crime, including the use of an iron rod to inflict injuries on every part of the deceased woman's body.
The court, led by Additional Sessions Judge Amit Sahrawat, is set to determine the final sentencing later. Initially registered as a case against the juvenile, it was later transferred to the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) court after the Juvenile Justice Board concluded that the offender, aged between 16 and 18, should be tried as an adult.
Details from the post-mortem report highlighted the heinous nature of the crime, detailing extensive injuries caused by the metallic rod. The prosecution confirmed that these actions resulted in the victim's death, satisfying the legal criteria for rape and murder. The court awaits a future date to pass the sentence on this grave offence.
