India Today  

Brajesh Thakur, who was sentenced to life imprisonment till his last breath for sexually assaulting several girls in a shelter home in Bihar's Muzaffarpur district, has approached the Delhi High Court challenging his conviction and jail term. The high court is likely to take up this week his appeal seeking to set aside trial court's January 20 judgment convicting him in the case and February 11 order sentencing him to life imprisonment till his last breath. A trial court had sentenced Thakur to "rigorous imprisonment till remainder of his life" and imposed a hefty fine of Rs 32.20 lakh on him, saying he was the "kingpin" of a "meticulously planned" conspiracy and "displayed extreme perversity". The trial court on January 20, had convicted Brajesh Thakur, who once unsuccessfully contested assembly polls on Bihar People''s Party ticket, of several offences including aggravated penetrative sexual assault under section 6 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, and offences of rape and gang rape under the Indian Penal code.
