A man is sentenced to death in West Bengal for raping and murdering a five-year-old girl.

A court in West Bengal has sentenced a 42-year-old man to death for raping and murdering a five-year-old girl in November 2024. This is the third such sentence in the region since November. The swift trial, completed within 54 days, was praised by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. In a related development, Trinamool Congress leader Kunal Ghosh demanded the death penalty for the accused in another high-profile rape-murder case in Kolkata, garnering public support for harsher punishments.
