Indian High Court Dismisses Appeals in Soujanya Murder Case

The Karnataka High Court has dismissed three appeals related to the Soujanya murder case, a high-profile case involving the alleged rape and murder of a young student in Karnataka, India. The court rejected appeals filed by the victim’s parents, seeking a re-investigation, and an appeal filed by Santosh Rao, the accused, who sought compensation for wrongful arrest. The appeals challenged a previous decision by a sessions court that had acquitted Santosh Rao due to insufficient evidence. This decision has caused further disappointment to the victim’s family, who have been seeking justice for over a decade.
