Ramanagaram, Jan 24: A tense atmosphere prevailed in a local court in Karnataka’s Ramanagaram on Wednesday when a rape and murder convict turned violent after getting death sentence.
Salim (35), the rape convict, who was given a death sentence by the district and sessions court judge, picked up some bricks in a fit of rage while walking out of the court premises and hurled them at media people and lawyers. He then grabbed a rifle from a policeman's hand.

Rape and murder
Salim was convicted and sentenced to death, for raping and murdering a nine-year-old girl. The sentence was awarded by the third district and sessions court here.

The Tavarekere police had registered the case and arrested him. When the charges were proved, the judge sentenced him to 10 years in jail and Rs 50,000 fine for the rape; and death sentence for the murder.
Comments
He even snatched the mobile phone of public prosecutor and broke it. Police lapses
Oh Come on Sir, if charges were proven, what made you wait for so long. Should have given death penalty earlier. Wasted much food, by feeding him for 5 years
Kill that F####r
Should chop his male reproductive organ and put iron rod on behind
Rape punishment should be done atleast within one week. Then only criminal will get scare
Laws should improve much more atleast in rape cases.
True.. Should kill at the spot only. He will get enough time now for escaping
It was good if police would have shot him when he went aggressive. This type of people should not have any place on earth. Now he will apply in higher courts and buy more time.
