A local court has sentenced a youth to capital punishment for raping and murdering a minor school girl, last year. Ameet Gajanan Gandhi (19) took the girl to an isolated place near a temple in Koradi near here on March 28, criminally assaulted her and later strangulated her to death with a scarf. The accused did not deserve any leniency, the judge said, ordering that he be hanged by the neck till death.
