In a disturbing case from Gurugram, a special court in Nuh sentenced a 35-year-old man to rigorous life imprisonment for the kidnapping, rape, and murder of his neighbor's three-and-a-half-year-old daughter. The crime occurred on November 30, 2024, when the man lured the girl with candies while she was playing outside her home. After her family reported her missing, her body was found on a boulder below a cliff, approximately 6 kilometers from their village. The convict attempted to cover up his crime by throwing the body off the cliff and even participated in the search efforts with the victim's family. Forensic evidence, including blood stains on the convict's clothes, confirmed his involvement in the crime. The court imposed a fine of ₹1.3 lakh and found the man guilty under multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act. Although the prosecution sought the death penalty, the court ultimately sentenced him to life imprisonment until death.
