Court awards death penalty

The Nasrapur rape case is a brutal incident in which a three-year-old girl was sexually assaulted by the accused, Bhimrao Kamble. The incident had triggered widespread outrage across the region, with several people demanding justice for the minor victim.

In a recent judgment, the Pune Sessions Court awarded the death penalty to Bhimrao Kamble. The verdict was delivered by Special Judge S. R. Salunkhe after hearing arguments from both sides.

The judgment followed the court finding Kamble guilty of the crime and awarding capital punishment. The accused's lawyer had sought leniency and argued for life imprisonment, but the court rejected the plea and awarded the death sentence.

Tight security at court

Meanwhile, the hearing took place amid tight security arrangements at the Pune Sessions Court, with a large police force deployed on the premises as the case attracted significant public attention. The victim’s family members were also present in the courtroom during the proceedings.
