A Delhi Court on Tuesday awarded death sentence to a domestic help for killing his employer’s four-year-old son when he resisted his attempt to rape his sister in 2006.

Additional Sessions Judge Babu Lal awarded the capital punishment to Sanjay Das, a resident of Bihar, after holding him guilty under section 302 of Indian Penal Code.

“I award you death sentence for murdering a four-year child. You can file an appeal in 30 days before the High Court,” the court said.

The Court also held Das, in his early twenties, guilty for raping one of his employer’s daughter and imposed a fine of Rs 3,500 on him.

In this case, Das killed the four year old boy when he had resisted the servant’s attempt to rape his sister on the fateful day of October 19, 2006.

Das, who was hired by his employer just three days before the incident, had brutally killed the boy and fled from the employer’s residence in Roop Nagar in North Delhi.

He was arrested from Haridwar a day after the incident.
