Orphanage rape case: Karanjule moves HC against death sentence

April 23, 2013 14:35

A month after a local court awarded death penalty to Ramchandra Karanjule for the murder of an inmate and gang rape of five mentally-challenged girls in an orphanage, he has approached the Bombay High Court challenging the order.

The sessions court had on March 21 convicted Ramchandra and five others for gang raping five girls, including three minors, at an orphanage run by a private trust Kalyani Mahila Bal Seva Sanstha at Kalamboli in Navi Mumbai.

Ramchandra, the director of the orphanage and the prime accused, was awarded the death penalty after it came to light during the trial that one of the victims, suffering from tuberculosis, had died after she was gang raped.
