A court in Mumbai sentenced a 24-year-old transgender to death for kidnapping, raping, and murdering a three-month-old girl in Cuffe Parade area of Mumbai in 2021.
The court said, "The applicant is also of a tender age of 26 years, and they come together out of a love affair. It seems that the alleged incident of sexual relationship is out of the attraction between the two young persons and it is not the case that the applicant has subjected the victim to a sexual assault out of lust."
The victim girl mentions in the FIR that she has been raped and sexually exploited by the accused. The complaint also mentions accused Sheikh's wife Sofiana who threatened the victim.
