: A local court on Saturday awardeddeath sentence
to one Manish Kumar alias Nepali Mandal (25) after finding him guilty of kidnapping and subsequently killing a 10-year-old boy on April 9, 2012. The court also slapped a fine of Rs 25,000 on Manish. The judgement was delivered by the court of ADJ-V Jyoti Swaroop Shrivatava which termed the case as “rarest of rare”. The court held Manish guilty of kidnapping the boy, committing unnatural sex with him, plucking his eyes and concealing the body after murder. Additional public prosecutor (APP) Shushil Kumar Sinha said Manish had kidnapped Aditya Rajkamal, son of Raju Mandal, a resident of Jamalpur, in broad daylight with the help his two friends – Amit Jha and Manoj Kumar – who are still absconding. “After abduction, the kidnappers demanded Rs 50,000 as ransom from the parents of Aditya for his safe release. They even allowed the boy to talk to his parents before killing him,” said the APP. The parents, instead of paying ransom to the kidnappers, brought the matter to the notice of the police. The police arrested Manish and recovered the body of Aditya Kumar from a drain. The news of Aditya’s murder spread like wildfire in Jamalpur and the entire town rose against the crime by holding protest rallies and demonstrations.
