Serial Rapist Whose Death Penalty Was Cancelled Rapes & Kills 11-Year-Old in MP
A heinous crime has shaken the state of Madhya Pradesh, as a 40-year-old man who had previously been convicted of rape and received a death penalty, allegedly committed the same crime once again. This time, the victim was an 11-year-old hearing- and speech-impaired girl who lost her life in the brutal attack. The accused, Ramesh, had managed to escape after the crime and was later caught after a massive search operation. This case has raised serious questions about the effectiveness of the criminal justice system and the need for stricter laws to protect vulnerable individuals.
According to the police, the crime took place in a village in Madhya Pradesh, where the 11-year-old girl was found dead with severe injuries. An investigation was launched, and after gathering evidence and eyewitness accounts, the police identified Ramesh as the prime suspect. Ramesh had a prior criminal record, having spent 10 years in jail for raping a five-year-old girl in 2003. In 2014, he was given a death penalty for raping an eight-year-old girl.
However, in a shocking turn of events, Ramesh’s death penalty was cancelled, and he was released from prison. It is not clear what led to the cancellation of his death penalty, but it is clear that Ramesh took advantage of his freedom to commit another heinous crime.
The police investigation revealed that Ramesh had befriended the 11-year-old girl and her family, gaining their trust before committing the crime. He allegedly took the girl to a secluded area and brutally raped her before murdering her. The police found evidence of the crime scene, including bloodstained clothes and a torn piece of fabric.
The police launched a massive search operation for Ramesh, who had gone into hiding after the crime. He was eventually caught in a Kumbh Mela, a major Hindu pilgrimage site, where he had been hiding among the crowds.
The case has sparked outrage and anger across the state, with many calling for Ramesh to be given the death penalty once again. The victim’s family has also demanded justice, saying that they will not rest until Ramesh is punished for his crimes.
This case highlights the need for stricter laws and harsher punishments for those who commit crimes against children. It is unacceptable that Ramesh was able to escape punishment for his previous crimes and go on to commit another heinous crime.
The police have registered a case under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and are investigating the matter further. The accused has been sent to judicial custody.
This case is a stark reminder of the struggles that children face in our society, particularly those with disabilities. The 11-year-old girl who lost her life was hearing- and speech-impaired, and her vulnerability was exploited by Ramesh. It is crucial that we work towards creating a society that is more inclusive and protects the rights of all individuals, particularly the most vulnerable among us.
The case also raises questions about the effectiveness of the criminal justice system in India. How could Ramesh’s death penalty be cancelled, and how could he be released from prison to commit another crime? What measures can be taken to prevent such crimes from happening in the future?
