The convicts were sentenced to death by ADJ (Special Dacoity) Indira Singh amidst heavy security. On behalf of the prosecution in the court, Rohit Shukla presented all the arguments and demanded death sentence for the convicts as per the evidence and testimony.
Initially, there were as many as 17 accused in the case. Of them, 13 died during the trial while one is absconding. The 24 persons killed by the dacoits during the attack on Dihuli village included women and children. They were targetted for allegedly helping the police against them.
The court based its judgment on the evidence and testimony.
When the sentence was pronounced, a pall of gloom descended on the faces of the three. As they all broke down the courtroom resonated with their shrieks.
Now, the condemned prisoners, Rampal, Ramsevak, and Kaptan Singh, can appeal against the death penalty in the high court within 30 days using their legal rights.
