Indian courts deliver multiple sentences in separate criminal cases
Several Indian courts have issued significant sentences in recent criminal cases. A Pune court sentenced a 65-year-old man to death for the rape and murder of a three-year-old girl, with one outlet noting the court termed it 'rarest of rare'. Separately, a Delhi court handed a life sentence to a man 12 years after he killed a vendor over a dispute. Other cases involved POCSO convictions in Odisha and Kerala, with sentences ranging from 20 years to life imprisonment.
