Kolkata court grants death sentence to man for rape-murder of 7-yr-old

A Kolkata court on Thursday sentenced a man to death for the rape and murder of a seven-year-old girl in 2023, holding that it was a case of the rarest of rare nature.

The girl had gone missing from near



her house at Tiljala in south-east Kolkata on March 26 last year when she went out on some chores.

The police launched an investigation after a missing diary was lodged and found her body in a nearby flat.
