Bhubaneswar (Odisha) – In a gang rape case involving a 6-year-old girl, the Odisha High Court overturns the death sentences of Akil Ali and Asif Ali. The lower court had sentenced both accused to death; however, the Odisha High Court acquitted Akil Ali and reduced Asif Ali’s death sentence to life imprisonment. The court remarked, ‘The accused prays multiple times a day and has devoted himself to Allah, making him ready to face any punishment.’
