GURUGRAM: Punishing an offender is a “primary function of all civil societies”, a Panipat court said this week, sentencing a convict to 10 years in jail for opening fire at a police team in July 2018.
Passing the judgment in the attempt to murder case, additional sessions judge Nishant Sharma also posed questions on how societies should treat a criminal – as “a nuisance?… an enemy?… a patient?… or a refractory child?”

According to public prosecutor Arvind Sharma on July 14, 2018, a police team had gone to Dahar village of Panipat. “He was caught when he injured himself after jumping into a drain,” said Sharma.
“It was so great to hear from you today and it was such weird timing,” he said. “This is going to sound funny and a little strange, but you were in a dream I had just a couple of days ago. I’d love to get together and tell you about it if you’re up for a cup of coffee,” he continued, laying the trap he’d been planning for years.
There was something special about this little creature. Donna couldn’t quite pinpoint what it was, but she knew with all her heart that it was true. It wasn’t a matter of if she was going to try and save it, but a matter of how she was going to save it. She went back to the car to get a blanket and when she returned the creature was gone.
In a similar incident in Delhi, 28-year-old Shraddha Walkar was allegedly strangled and killed by her live-in partner Aftab Poonawala, in her Chhatarpur flat in Mehrauli. He then dismembered her corpse into 35 pieces and stacked them in a refrigerator and would later dump them at midnight in the forest area of the city. Aftab was arrested on November 12 and is currently in police custody.
