Speak out India: Will death penalty prove to be the ultimate deterrent against rape?

2019-03-01 1

A sessions court here on Thursday found three of the four persons, convicted for gang-raping a photojournalist at the Shakti Mill Compound last year, guilty as repeat sexual offenders and can now be sentenced to death.

The court proclaimed them guilty as repeat sexual offenders after hearing the final arguments on the addition of Section 376 E in the photojournalist gang-rape case since the three men were also found guilty of gang-raping an 18-year-old telephone operator at the Shakti Mill Compound earlier. Maximum punishment under Section 376 E is death.

The prosecution in the photojournalist case had filed an application to add Section 376 (E) against the three, claiming that they were repeat sexual offenders. These three men are common convicts in the telephone operator and photojournalist gang-rape case.
