The convict had stabbed his handicapped father, mother and his six-month pregnant wife to death in April 2008.
Twenty eight-year-old convict Nitin Verma had been adopted by his parents when he was barely a few days old.
Holding that the convict is a menace to the society, Additional Sessions Judge (ASJ) Virender Bhat sentenced Nitin to death saying that life imprisonment would be an inadequate punishment for his crime.
"The convict (Nitin) is a menace to the society. When he did not spare his own parents and wife and killed them in cold blood, what respect he would show for the lives of others. The convict is like a live bomb, which has the potential of causing a huge catastrophe, if not destroyed at the earliest.
"I am of the opinion that the life imprisonment would be altogether inadequate punishment in this case, having regard to the nature of crime and manner and circumstances in which it was committed," the judge said.
Refusing to show any leniency to the convict, the judge said, "The present case, in my opinion, amounts to the rarest of rare cases, which shocks the collective conscience of the society, which would definitely expect the court to inflict death sentence upon the convict."
"There was no justification at all for the convict to commit the grotesque killings. The convict appears to be without any remorse," the judge said. (More)
