SC upholds death for man who raped, stoned 4-yr-old to death
The Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld the death sentence of a 55-year-old man, who had raped a four-year-old, and stoned her to death in Maharashtra in 2008. Vasanta Sampat Dupare's petition claimed that he was handed the punishment without his lawyer. Terming the case as one involving 'extreme depravity' and a 'barbaric manner', the apex court dismissed the petition.
