A man who stalked and stabbed an engineering student in August last year in Andhra Pradesh has been sentenced to death in one of the fastest conviction and punishment in such cases.
The third-year engineering student, Nallapu Ramya, was stabbed to death by Kunchala Sasikrishna on a busy road in full public view in Andhra Pradesh's Guntur. People had walked by and no one had come to her help. She met him on Instagram six months before the incident.
A fast-track sessions court in Guntur, in its verdict on Friday, found Kunchala Sasikrishna guilty of murder and sentenced him to death.
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy praised the verdict, calling it a "historic step" in the fight to end crime against women.
