A Surat court on December 29 sentenced a 27-year-old man to life imprisonment “for the remainder of his natural life” in a case of rape and murder of a five-year-old girl in April this year.

After the court of Special POCSO Judge P.S. Kala pronounced the sentence, the convict, Sujit Saket, got enraged and hurled his slippers towards the Judge. But, the footwear missed the target and fell near the witness box.
