Man's death penalty for raping-killing child commuted by Guj HC

The Gujarat High Court on Tuesday commuted the death sentence of a man convicted of raping and killing an eight-year-old girl to 25 years in jail without remission. Dinesh Vasava was sentenced to death last September by a POCSO court in Modasa for raping and killing the girl of Limbhoi village in Aravalli district in 2014.

He had lured the child with chocolates and had dumped her body in a well after committing the crime. A division bench of justices Harsha Devani and Viresh Mayani commuted convict's death penalty to 25 years in jail without remission.
