Kerala Train Rape

A convict who raped a young woman on a rail track in 2011 after allegedly throwing her off a moving train in Kerala will not be given the death penalty. The Supreme Court today rejected the Kerala government's curative petition for reviewing its earlier order of giving the convict Govindachamy a life sentence.

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan today assured all support to ensure justice to the family of Soumya, who was allegedly raped and murdered after being pushed out from a moving train in Thrissur district in February 2011.

A convict who raped a young woman on a rail track in 2011 after allegedly throwing her off a moving train in Kerala, was spared the death sentence on Thursday. Reducing Govindachamy's sentence to 14 years in jail, the Supreme Court said there was not enough evidence that 23-year-old Soumya had been murdered or pushed off the train.

The decision of the Supreme Court to commute the death sentence awarded to Govindachamy, who had raped and murdered 23-year-old Soumya in February 2011 after allegedly pushing her out of a moving train, was 'heart breaking', the mother of the girl, said.

In 2011, 23-year-old Soumya was allegedly pushed off a train in Kerala by a man who jumped after her, hit her with a stone and then raped her in her wounded state. The attacker, Govindachamy, will not hang, the Supreme Court ruled today, reducing his sentence to 14 years in jail.

Kerala High Court today confirmed the death sentence awarded to Govindachamy by a Fast Track Court for brutally raping and causing the death of a 23-year-old woman after pushing her out of a moving train on February 1, 2008.

A court in Kerala has awarded the death sentence to a man who raped and murdered a young salesgirl named Soumya, who he found in the women's compartment of a train.

Hardly a week after a woman was pushed out of a local train and allegedly raped, a 23-year-old man misbehaved with a woman passenger on board the Thiruvananthapuram-Mangalore Express.
