A day after the President, A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, stayed the June 25 hanging of Dhananjoy Chatterjee, the Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee Government said that it favoured the execution of the death sentence as a signal to the perpetrators of rape and murder in the country. "In this case, I am in favour of death by hanging. Yes, a message should go to the perpetrators of such heinous crimes,'' Mr. Bhattacharjee said. Dhannajoy Chatterjee had been found guilty of raping and murdering 14-year-old Hetal Parekh at her Kolkata residence in 1990.
