Pune: A Pune court on Tuesday pronounced the death sentence for two convicts in the 2007 rape and murder of a 22-year-old girl employed with a BPO in Pune.
A cab driver and his accomplice were pronounced guilty of raping and murdering Jyoti Kumari Chowdhari by the court on Saturday.
Principal district and sessions judge Anant Badar on Monday had deferred the sentencing in the rape and murder of BPO employee Jyotikumari Chaudhari till Tuesday, after hearing the arguments from the prosecution and defence.
Badar had pronounced the accused Purshottam Borate (30) and his friend Pradeep Kokade (24), both residents of Dehu Road, guilty on charges of criminal conspiracy, rape, murder and misappropriating property, on Saturday.
Special public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam pleaded that the accused be sentenced to death as they had committed the rape and murder of a young woman in a brutal manner. Nikam said it was Jyotikumari's last working day at the office on November 1, 2007, but the accused hatched a criminal conspiracy and drove her in the cab to a remote spot while she was talking on her cellphone and then raped her.
According to Nikam, the accused then cut her nerves, inflicted three injuries on her body with a sharp weapon and brutally strangled her to death.
On November 1, 2007, 22-year-old Chaudhari was picked up by the accused from her Pashan residence in a car to drop her to her company in Hinjewadi. The accused drove her to a remote spot where they raped and murdered her.
The Talegaon Dabhade police recovered her body near a field in Gahunje village on the Mumbai-Pune expressway on November 2. The duo was arrested on November 3.
