Even as the clamour for speedy trial of rape
cases is on the rise after the horror suffered
by Damini, there exists an equally pathetic case
of a seven-year-old who was raped and
brutally murdered in Darbhanga in Bihar.
Despite the accused being slapped with a death
sentence in 2007, he is yet be executed. The girl
was raped and murdered on February 28, 2004
by a staff employed in her father's office,
following which the accused was arrested. The
lower court on seeing the brutality of the
crime had sentenced the accused to death. By
May 2007, the High Court and Supreme Court
also upheld the death sentence. But four years
have lapsed since then, but the accused is yet
to be hanged.
