June 10, 2019 11:28

The men accused of raping and murdering an eight year old girl in Kathu have been brought to the Pathankot court ahead of the verdict in the case.

The District and Sessions Court in Pathankot on Monday was turned into a fortress, as a large number of security personnel and riot control vehicles were deployed here ahead of verdict in the gruesome rape and murder of the nomadic minor girl in Jammu and Kashmir's Kathua.

The court is expected to pronounce its order in the rape and murder case today.

The eight-year-old girl, belonging to a nomadic Muslim tribe, was abducted, drugged, gang-raped, tortured and killed on January 10 last year. The trial, which had begun in April 2018 against seven accused out of eight, concluded on June 3 last week.
