Shimla, June 3

The quantum of sentence in the Gudiya rape and murder case was deferred again to June 8 by the CBI special court as the lone convict Anil Kumar, alias Nilu, a chirani (wood cutter), could not be produced in the court today due to the curfew in the state.

The court had held Nilu guilty of rape and murder on April 28 last. This is the fourth time that the sentence has been deferred. Earlier, the sentenced was to be announced on May 11. It was postponed to May 18, then to May 28 and then again to June 3 .
