Boy’s killers get jail till death
In an unusual judgment, Rohini Court additional sessions Judge (ASJ) Dr Kamini Lau on Wednesday sentenced two men to jail term till their natural death for killing a minor boy in their bid to sodomise him in 2007, after noting the duo as “beasts in human form and disgrace to mankind”.
Terming the offence of the two convicts, Tek Chand, 60, and Phool Singh, 59, as “rare”, Dr Lau expressed concern over the state of children who become victims of perverts.
The court said, “It horrifies me to see how our children, particularly those who spend their childhood on streets due to abject poverty are subjected to unimaginable exploitation of the worst kind. Budding lives fall prey to the lust of perverts who do not hesitate to inflict brutal force of highest order upon helpless children.”
The court said that it is revolting to find the so-called humans preying on small children for satisfaction of their carnal lust. They are beasts in human form and are a disgrace to mankind, the court said.
The court also imposed a fine of `54,000 each on Chand and Singh, who used to earn their livelihood by doing petty work at Babu Jagjivan Ram Hospital, after holding them guilty.
The court said in its judgment, “The gruesome crime, committed in the present case, upon a small child of 5-6 years by persons old enough to be his grandfathers is revolting and has left me stunned. These convicts have done the unthinkable what even an animal would not do and to call these persons human is an insult to the entire humanity.”
