As per case facts, the appellant was convicted of raping and murdering a 3-year-old child. The child was abducted, sexually abused, and brutally killed. The High Court is hearing the ... appellant's challenge to his conviction and death sentence. The question arose whether the circumstantial evidence formed a complete chain pointing solely to the accused's guilt. Finally, the Court found the pan shop owner's testimony unreliable, the CCTV footage unproven, and the DNA evidence inadmissible due to lack of proper examination of the scientific officer and issues with the chain of custody for seized clothes.
