Kopardi Rape Case

A convict serving death sentence in a 2016 case of rape and murder of a minor girl at Kopardi in Maharashtra was found hanging in his cell at the Yerwada Central Jail in Pune on Sunday morning, police said.

Three convicts were sentenced to death by a special court today in Maharashtra's Kopardi rape and murder case. Observing the barbarity involved in the murder, this case has been compared by many to the 2012 Delhi gang-rape.

In July last year, a 15-year-old girl in Maharashtra's Kopardi was murdered after gang-rape and torture so savage that her hair had been pulled out, her limbs and teeth had been broken and there were bite marks on her body.

All three accused in the rape and murder of a 14-year-old girl in Maharashtra's Kopardi village in July 2016 have been found guilty by a court in Ahmednagar. The crime had triggered massive protests across Maharashtra last year. The court will sentence the three convicts on November 21

A sessions court today convicted three men for raping and murdering a 15-year-old girl in Kopardi village in 2016.

NCP leader Sunil Tatkare today said even one year after the Kopardi rape and murder case, the BJP-led government in Maharashtra has failed to shift the trial to a fast-track court.

Police today filed a charge sheet against three accused in the Kopardi gangrape-murder case, which generated much heat across Maharashtra in the past three months with Marathas hitting the streets seeking justice for the girl besides raising other demands like quota in education and jobs.

The demand for a Maratha quota is not a new one. It was first raised after the implementation of the Mandal Commission Report in the early 1990s which added Other Backward Castes (OBC) as a recipient of the benefits of reservation.

Social activist Anna Hazare today sought death penalty for those accused of brutally raping and killing a 15-year-old girl at a village in Maharashtra's Ahmednagar district.
