Chandrashekhar Shriram Atram was sentenced to death by a sessions court, in India, for having sodomized and brutally murdered a two-and-a-half year old child, Golu. His body was stuffed in a gunny bag. Both his hands and a leg were tightly tied with a jute rope and a cloth was stuffed in his mouth. The special court for child abuse victims under additional sessions judge GJ Akarte also convicted Atram, in his late twenties, for sodomy and kidnapping. He was sentenced to lifer on two counts and rigorous imprisonment of seven years along with a fine of Rs 4,000. According to additional public prosecutor Jyoti Vajani, Atram, a native of Madhya Pradesh, was known to the Golu's parents, Ganesh and Geeta Chaudhary, residents of Surendragarh near Hazaripahad. On May 14, 2010, Atram lured Golu with chocolates when he was playing with other children. When Golu didn't return after some time, his parents lodged a complaint with police station after which Atram was quizzed by the police. He finally cracked under sustained interrogation and took the police to a place under the bridge where he had dumped Golu's body. Post mortem reports confirmed sodomy with injuries to private parts and death due to strangulation.
