Jaipur, Jan 10, 2013, DHNS:
A lower court in Rajasthan on Thursday awarded death sentence to a person accused of rape and murder of a minor in Ganganagar district, in what is thought of as the first instance of maximum punishment to a sex offender in the state in recent years.
Police said the accused, 28-year-old Sonu alias Sohanlal, who was living in a rented accommodation at Sadushehar, befriended the 15-year-old victim belonging to the same neighbourhood.
On May 17, 2010, Sonu invited the girl to his room on some pretext and raped her. He then strangled her to death.
