Punjab court sentences man to death for killing his daughter
It's a tale of tragedy but also of hope. Tragedy, because casual labourer Mukesh Kumar killed his 2-day old daughter in the presence of his wife. Hope, because Kumar's own wife had the courage to go to court to complain against his heinous act. What's more a trial court in the Sangrur district of Punjab has handed out the death sentence to the labourer, thereby sending out a strong message that female infanticide if practised, would receive the highest possible punishment.
