New Delhi, February 11
A Delhi court today sentenced Brajesh Thakur to imprisonment till his last breath for sexually assaulting several girls in a shelter home in Bihar’s Muzaffarpur district, saying he was the “kingpin” of a “meticulously planned” conspiracy and “displayed extreme perversity”.
Additional Sessions Judge Saurabh Kulshreshtha also sent 11 others to jail for life. The court sentenced Thakur to “rigorous imprisonment till remainder of his life” and imposed a fine of Rs 32.20 lakh on him. In view of rising crimes against children, such offenders need to be dealt with iron hand, it said. — PTI
