All the four accused were arrested and booked under sections 147 (rioting), 148 (rioting with deadly weapons), 302 (murder) and 201 (causing disappearance of evidence) of the IPC."He added, "The court called it a 'cold-blooded murder' and on the basis of the evidence and the testimony of eye-witnesses, pronounced capital punishment for all the four accused.Additional district government counsel Atul Kumar Singh added, "This is a very rare judgment as even the girl's mother has been given such a harsh sentence for displaying extreme brutality."Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
