KOLKATA: A Pocso court in Kolkata on Tuesday sentenced a 34-year-old man to death by hanging for the rape and attempted murder of a seven-month-old girl in November last year, after the defence counsel and public prosecutor argued that the crime fell under the "rarest of the rare" category.

The Bankshall court on Monday convicted the man, Rajib Ghosh, of kidnapping, rape and attempt to murder of the infant from the Burtolla area of the city within 75 days of his arrest. The quantum of punishment was announced after hearing the final round of submissions.
