SURAT: The Pandesara police on Tuesday filed a chargesheet in the case of 10-year-old girl’s rape and murder case within 15 days of the crime.
Officials said this is probably the least time taken to file a chargesheet in such heinous offences in the state.
The 232-page chargesheet filed in the local court has testimonies of 69 witnesses and clinching evidence of the crime that was allegedly perpetrated by 27-year-old Dinesh Baisane, a native of Maharashtra.
Baisane had kidnapped the minor from her house on December 9 by offering to buy her a vada-pav. He, however, took her to an isolated location and tried to rape her. The girl, who had learnt about good touch and bad touch in her school, fought back bravely by biting and scratching his hand. When she screamed for help, Baisane hit her with a brick on the head out of fear of getting caught. The girl died on the spot due to heavy blood loss.
