SC Come down hard on Kidnappers, give Death.

New Delhi: The Supreme Court has given the utmost penalty-- death to kidnappers and murderers of a young boy. As stated by IBN7.

The incident had occurred in Hoshiarpur in Punjab and also the Apex Court says the crime deserves the harshest possible sentence.

Taking a strong note of the recent rise in kidnapping the court said: Kidnapping for ransom has become a lucrative and thriving industry all over the country and it must be sorted out in the harshest possible way. The obligation to get rid of this falls on the courts also and so they must help.

A class nine student, Abhi Verma was kidnapped from Hoshiyarpur when he was on his route to school in 2005 . A ransom demand of Rs 50 lakhs was made. However, Abhi was subsequently murdered by the kidnappers for the fear of being identified.

The Supreme Court is looking at murder after kidnapping since the rarest of rare cases and want to send out an extremely strong signal to prevent such killings in future.
