Transgender Sentenced To Death For Raping, Killing 3-Month-Old Girl In Mumbai

Society's fabric gets damaged beyond repair due to such crimes, observed Aditee Kadam, special judge for cases under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO).

Terming the act as "barbaric and inhuman", a court in Mumbai on Tuesday awarded a death sentence to a transgender person for raping and murdering a three-month-old girl.

Society's fabric gets damaged beyond repair due to such crimes, observed Aditee Kadam, special judge for cases under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO).

A co-accused was, however, acquitted as the prosecution could not prove the case against him beyond reasonable doubt.
