Reopening this thread. Some positive developments:
Six get death for Khairlanji killings
Justice has prevailed and was swift. Kudos to all those involved in delivering justice to Bhotmange family.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Reading out the operative part of the keenly awaited judgment that generated intense speculation, the first ad-hoc Sessions Judge S S Dass described the killings of four members of a Dalit family in Khairlanji village as a âfiendish actâ calling for nothing less than death sentence.
After giving his verdict on September 15 on the slaughter of the wife and three children of Bhaiyyalal Bhotmange, an humble Dalit farmer of Khairlanji of Bhandara district, by a frenzied mob on his house on September 29, 2006, the judge heard arguments on the quantum of sentence.
While the judge convicted eight of the eleven persons, accused for murder, rioting, causing removal of evidence and unlawful assembly â and acquitted three others for lack of evidence, he dropped the vital charges of atrocity and conspiracy. The mob attack was not inspired by caste animosity, he said.
<b>The six who were awarded death sentence are: Sakru Mahagu Binjewar, Shatrughan Issam Dhande, Vishwanath Hagru Dhande, Ramu Mangru Dhande, Jagdish Ratan Mandlekar and Prabhakar Jaswant Mandlekar.Â
The two who will spend the rest of their lives in jail are Shishupal Vishwanath Dhande and Gopal Sakru Binjewar. </b>
<span style='color:red'>All the eight murder convicts, as also the three acquitted, namely Purushottam Titirmare, Mahipal Dhande and Dharampal Dhande, belong to the âOther Backward Castesâ.

Will the bloggers (Vij?) who stroked communal tensions and worst racists bigotry have a decency to apologize?
