The court of Additional Sessions Judge Amit Sahrawat, on June 4, noted that the man inflicted several stone blows on the head of the child and also gave multiple blade cuts on different body parts from head to toe, leaving him at the spot in a bloodbath to die.
"Inflicting numerous blade marks all over a seven-year-old child's body, trying to batter his head with a stone, and leaving the minor to die in a pool of blood showed the man's 'barbaric mentality,'" the court said.
The ASJ was hearing the arguments on the quantum of sentence against Mohammed Moi alias Mohit, who was sentenced under IPC sections 307 (attempt to murder) and 364 (kidnapping to commit murder).
Expressing anguish, the court wondered how the convict, a father of three children, attempted to murder the child in such a brutal manner.
The act of giving multiple blade marks on the face, shoulder, hand, legs, etc., of the minor child shows the barbaric mentality of the convict, and it also shows the heinousness of the offence, the judge noted.
Noting that aggravating factors against the man in the present case are the age of the victim child and the manner of committing the crime, the judge said that at the time of the incident in 2017, the victim child was aged about five to seven years. The convict gave several stone blows to the head of such a minor child and also gave several blade cuts to the body of the child, thereafter leaving the child in a bloodbath at the spot.

Drama in Odhav: Wanted criminal threatens suicide during arrest attempt
Ahmedabad: A high-voltage scene unfolded in the Odhav area on Friday when a man wanted in multiple criminal cases threatened to jump from a fourth-floor flat as police teams closed in on him. The accused, identified as Abhishek alias Shooter Sanjaysinh Tomar, 25, was wanted by several police stations across the eastern part of the city for various bodily offences. Ahmedabad City Crime Branch was tracking him for months. Acting on a tip-off, multiple teams from the agency arrived at a flat in Odhav, where the accused was reported to be staying. As officers approached the flat, the accused locked the door from inside. After repeated commands to open the door went unanswered, the team forced entry. Upon entering, they found the accused climbed onto the ledge of the kitchen balcony at the rear of the flat. Standing at the edge, he began recording a live video on social media and threatened to jump, creating panic in the area. The cops immediately informed the control room and requested assistance from the fire department. Rescue arrangements were made while the officers tried to de-escalate the situation. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 4 Ways to Retire Comfortably With £500k Fisher Investments UK Undo After some time, the team managed to overpower him without allowing the situation to worsen.
