Kopardi RAPE case: 3 convicts get death sentence.

AHMEDNAGAR,

A Special Court on Wednesday awarded death sentence to all three accused convicted in the RAPE and brutal MURDER of a 15-year-old schoolgirl in Kopardi village in Maharashtra's Ahmednagar district in 2016.Jitendra alias Pappu Babulal Shinde, 26, Santosh Gorkha Bhawal, 30, and Nitin Gopinath Bhailume, 28, were sentenced to death for RAPE, conspiracy, MURDER and other crimes, Special Public Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam told the media after the verdict.Earlier, finding them guilty on November 18, Ahmednagar District and Sessions Judge Suvarna Keole, pronounced the verdict under the Protection of Children from SEXUAL Offences (POCSO) Act before a packed courtroom.The judge has allowed the convicts to appeal before the Bombay High Court."We shall challenge not only the verdict but the entire proceedings before the High Court, the lapses and other issues on which we have already given our written submission to the Sessions Court," the lawyers for Bhawal, Balasaheb Khopade and Vijayalaxmi Khopade, told IANS.The crime took place on July 13, 2016 when the 15-year-old was abducted, RAPED, mutilated and killed, sparking off a casteist and political furore in Maharashtra.That evening, the Class 9 student was out to fetch some spices from her grandmother's home in the same village."Justice has finally been done. My daughter will never return. This is the real tribute to my daughter. We are grateful to (Ujjwal) Nikam Saheb," the victim's mother said before breaking down inconsolably outside the courtroom Nikam said: "The prime accused Shinde has been convicted and fined for committing the offences of MOLESTATION, RAPE and brutal MURDER while the other two, Bhawal and Bhailume, provoked him (Shinde), encouraged, conspired and abetted in the crimes." The verdict has been hailed across the political spectrum. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said the trial was conducted in a record time and it would serve as a warning to all RAPISTS. AIMIM legislator Imtiaz Jaleel demanded that the convicts should be hanged in a public place with live telecast -- as in some Arab countries. A large number of people staged a noisy protest outside the court demanding that the death sentence verdict be implemented as soon as possible to serve as a warning to potential offenders. Several political leaders demanded that the verdict should be taken up for confirmation hearing by the Bombay High Court on priority and the sentence of the lower court should be upheld.The trial in the case - with the victim dubbed as Maharashtra's 'Nirbhaya' - started before the fast-track Special Court on December 20, 2016. In 11 months, the prosecution examined 31 witnesses while defence lawyer Vijayalaxmi Khopade examined one witness. The prosecution lawyers - Yohan Makasare, Khopades and Prakash Aher - argued that their clients were framed.

The demand that the convicts should be hanged in a public place with a live telecast should be considered seriously. The delay in justice should not be allowed. These kind of cases should be heard at priority basis. Do you think the claim of the prosecution lawyers that their clients were framed is right or is it just an effort to delay the punishment?

We are the descendants of Great Mrtyr and Ancestors of this Great Nation want to end war we are fighting with in our society. Let's take a step towards tomorrow to make this world a better place to live in.
