Serial Rapist Whose Death Penalty Was Cancelled Rapes & Kills 11-year-old in MP
In a shocking and distressing turn of events, a 40-year-old man who had previously been convicted of rape and sentenced to death has committed a heinous crime yet again. Ramesh, who had spent 10 years in jail for raping a five-year-old girl in 2003, had his death penalty cancelled in a previous case involving the rape of an eight-year-old girl in 2014. Despite this, he has now been accused of raping and murdering an 11-year-old hearing- and speech-impaired girl in Madhya Pradesh.
The victim, a Class 5 student, was found dead in a field in the city of Bhind, Madhya Pradesh, on January 10. An investigation was launched, and soon, Ramesh was identified as the prime suspect. He was arrested on January 12 after a massive search operation.
According to the police, Ramesh had befriended the victim’s family and gained their trust. He would often visit their home and interact with the girl. On the day of the incident, he took the girl to a field under the guise of showing her a new mobile phone and then committed the heinous crime.
Ramesh’s criminal past is chilling. In 2003, he was convicted of raping a five-year-old girl and spent 10 years in jail. In 2014, he was sentenced to death for raping an eight-year-old girl. However, his death penalty was cancelled, and he was released from prison.
The case is a stark reminder of the failures of the justice system in India. Despite being convicted of two heinous crimes, Ramesh was able to escape punishment and continue his criminal ways. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the laws in place to protect children and the need for stricter punishments for those who commit such crimes.
The victim’s family is still reeling from the shock of the incident. “We are devastated,” said the girl’s father in an interview. “We trusted him, and he took advantage of our trust. We are angry and hurt.”
The police have launched a thorough investigation into the case and have collected evidence from the crime scene. Ramesh has been charged under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offenses (POCSO) Act and is currently in police custody.
The incident has sparked outrage across the country, with many calling for stricter laws and punishments for those who commit crimes against children. “This is a wake-up call for us to review our laws and ensure that those who commit such heinous crimes are punished severely,” said a local activist.
The case is also a reminder of the importance of educating children about the dangers of trusting strangers and the need for parents to be vigilant in protecting their children. “We need to educate children about the risks involved in interacting with strangers and the importance of trusting their instincts,” said a child psychologist.
The Madhya Pradesh government has announced a compensation of Rs 5 lakh to the victim’s family and has assured them of all possible support.
As the investigation continues, Ramesh’s motives and the extent of his involvement in the crime are still unclear. However, one thing is certain – the justice system in India needs to be overhauled to ensure that those who commit such heinous crimes are punished severely and that the victims and their families receive the support they need.
