New Delhi, Aug. 3 -- Public outcry and media coverage do not lessen the seriousness of an offence, the Delhi High Court has said while denying bail to a man accused of raping and murdering his eight-year-old cousin. The FIR, filed in 2016, was based on a complaint by the victim's father, who said his daughter had been abducted while playing outside their home. Police learned that the accused had raped the girl, strangled her, concealed her body in a plastic bag, and buried it in a pit. In his plea, the man said he was falsely implicated under public pressure and media trial. Rejecting the man's contention, justice Girish Kathpalia on Friday, said, "An eight-year-old girl was raped and killed by her own cousin. Merely because there was public outcry, gravity of offence does not lessen."...
