The Incident
- The Crime: Kamble lured the young girl by promising her snacks and showing her a newborn calf. He took her to a nearby cattle shed, sexually assaulted her, and violently killed her.
- Discovery: The victim’s family found her body buried under cow dung in the shed. CCTV footage showing the suspect leading the child was vital to his arrest. [2, 3]
The Trial and Verdict
- Fast-Track Court: Due to the horrific nature of the crime, the trial was heavily fast-tracked. A 1,100-page chargesheet was filed in just 14 days, and hearings were held daily in a special POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) Act court in Pune.
- The Sentence: On June 29, 2026, the court convicted Kamble under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the POCSO Act. The judge declared it the “rarest of rare” cases and sentenced him to the death penalty, ordering that he be hanged by the neck until dead.
- Next Steps: The sentence must be officially confirmed by the Bombay High Court and remains open to appeals by the defense. [1, 2]
