The District Legal Services Authority (DLSA) has granted a compensation of ₹10 lakh (approximately $12,000 USD) to the families of two minors who were tragically raped and murdered in Pune district, Maharashtra, earlier this month. On May 1, a 3.5-year-old girl was allegedly lured by a 65-year-old man near a local temple, taken to a cowshed, raped, and killed with a blunt object before her body was disposed of in cow dung. In another incident on the same day, a 3-year-old boy was sexually assaulted and murdered by a teenager in Pimpri Chinchwad. The police apprehended the boy's alleged murderer within 12 hours while he attempted to flee to Bihar. Both perpetrators have been charged under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Prevention of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. Following the provisions of the Manodhairya Scheme, the DLSA President, Judge Mahendra Mahajan, approved the compensation after reviewing the cases. The compensation will be partially released immediately, with the remainder held as a fixed deposit for the victims' parents.
