Naziruddin had first conducted a recce. He had attacked and killed the husband and a four-month-old infant before raping the victim woman and her 9-year-old daughter. The woman was left in a vegetative state and died later.
One of the youths took out his mobile phone and began recording the entire incident while one of the accused sexually harassed the girl by removing dupatta and asked her to undress.
This is the fourth death penalty awarded in Odisha after the central government amended the POCSO Act to include the death penalty for rapists of children under 12 years.
