Convict in TCS techie Esther Anhya rape and murder case sentenced to death
Pronouncing the sentence, Special judge Vrushali Joshi observed, "This is the rarest of the rare case. For the charge of murder, the accused shall be hanged by the neck till death."
Anuhya, a 23-year old employee, was working in Mumbai and had returned to the city after visiting her family in Machilipatnam. Arriving at the Lokmanya Tilak Terminus in suburban Kurla, she met Sanap, who offered to drop her home in Andheri for Rs. 300.
Sanap then raped and murdered Anuhya, and dumped the body in the bushes along the Eastern Express Highway in Bhandup. After a search, Esther's family found her body on January 16.
Convicting Sanap on Tuesday, the court had termed the incident "a case of cold-blooded pre-planned murder" where the motive was "to satisfy unbridled lust.”
