The court also ordered the District Legal Services Authority to pay the victim’s family ₹15 lakh as compensation.
Ravinder was first arrested in July 2015. The police, at the time, were investigating only the disappearance of a six-year-old girl from her residence in Begumpur. Ravinder’s arrest, from Kanjhawala, led them to the girl’s body and a confession that he raped her after strangling her to death.
But during interrogations, Ravinder made a series of startling revelations that stunned the city’s police force. He said that he had raped or murdered at least 36 children over eight years, between 2007, when he was 17 years old, and 2015.
The police initially refused to believe him, but were swayed after his “vivid and accurate” descriptions of the incidents, said an investigator aware of the matter.
Vikramjit Singh, additional police commissioner (New Delhi), was deputy commissioner of police of Outer Delhi when Ravinder was arrested and called the 32-year-old “a cold-blooded killer with no sense of guilt or remorse.”
is crimes followed a similar pattern, said police officers. He would “get drunk, look for a minor, strangle them with just three fingers, and then rape them”.
