Mumbai: A Mumbai court on Friday awarded death sentence to Chandrabhan Sanap, the prime accused in TCS techie rape and murder case. The court has called it a 'rarest of rare' case.
Sanap had raped and murdered a woman on January 5, 2014. Crime Branch arrested him in March, 2014, nearly two months after the murder of the 23-year-old techie, employed with IT major TCS in suburban Goregaon, who went missing from the Lokmanya Tilak terminus in Kurla after arrival from her native place in early hours of January 5.
According to police, Sanap spotted the woman sitting at railway station alone and offered to drop her to Andheri, where she resided.
He convinced the techie to sit on his motorcycle and strangled her at an isolated place when she resisted his attempt to rape her.
The victim's decomposed body was found off the Eastern Express Highway in suburban Bhandup on January 16. The assistant system engineer, a native of Machilipatnam in Andhra Pradesh, had returned to Mumbai after a visit to her hometown.
