INDIA: DOMESTIC HELP GETS DEATH PENALTY FOR KILLING EMPLOYER'S SON

a Delhi Court in India awarded the death sentence to a domestic help for killing his employer’s four-year-old son when he resisted his attempt to rape his sister in 2006. Additional Sessions Judge Babu Lal awarded capital punishment to Sanjay Das, a resident of Bihar, after holding him guilty under section 302 of the Indian Penal Code. "I award you death sentence for murdering a four-year child. You can file an appeal in 30 days before the High Court," the court said. The Court also held Das, in his early twenties, guilty for raping one of his employer’s daughter and imposed a fine of Rs 3,500 on him.
