 "summary": "The Supreme Court's 1 February 2011 judgment records that the Sessions Judge, Fast Track Court-VII, Bangalore City convicted police constable in S.C. No.725/1999 on 26 October 2006 for the 28 February 1998 rape, robbery and murder of an adult woman at Dasarahalli, Bengaluru, sentencing him to death under s.302 IPC with further 7- and 10-year terms. The Court notes the Karnataka High Court had rejected his appeal and confirmed the death sentence (Crl.R.C. No.3/2006 and Crl.A. No.2408/2006), and the Supreme Court upheld the conviction and sentence. His police status (DAR constable, Chitradurga; ex-CRPF) is corroborated by the [name withheld]'s own submission reported by LiveLaw and contemporaneous press; the death sentence was later commuted to 30 years without remission by the Supreme Court in 2022.",
