We also explored the option if we can direct the fast track courts to finish the trials within a specific duration. But we are adding a clause of asking the fast track court to carry out the trial on day to day basis without adjournment. Kopardi case will be tried in a fast track court and we will do our best to give worst punishment for such heinous crime”.
Fadnavis further tweeted that the “Kopardi incident is extremely painful, unfortunate and a blot on humanity and highly condemnable”.
On July 13 in Kopardi, the family of the class 9th schoolgirl found her badly mutilated, blood-splattered body under a tree in a field sending shockwaves across the state. Investigations revealed she was tortutred and her both shoulders were found dislocated.
