Mohan Anna Chavan was not an ordinary criminal. He was convicted in 1989 and sentenced to two years and 10 years by trial courts in Thane and Satara, respectively for raping two minor girls in Seperate incidents.
He came out of prison in July 1999, but without leaving behind his depravity.
In December 1999, five months later his release from prison, he set his eyes on two more young girls – Neelam and Gauri – and lured them to a secluded place promising them sweets.
He raped the children and murdered them one after the other. He threw Neelam’s body into a well in a paddy field and concealed Gauri’s body after strangulating her.
The villagers who had seen the children last in his company, spotted him the next morning and captured him.
The Bombay High Court affirmed the death sentence finding the evidence strong enough to nail the convict for the ghastly crime.
Rejecting Chavan’s appeal against conviction and death sentence, a three judge bench of apex court said: " the case at hand falls in the rarest of rare category."
"Death is the award proper sentence", writing the unanimous judgment for the Bench.
