Calcutta HC Commutes Death Penalty in Gangrape, Murder Case

Imagine two people did something very bad, like hurting and killing a little girl.

A court originally said they should be given the death penalty.

But, a higher court looked at the case again.

They decided that instead of the death penalty, the two people should stay in jail for the rest of their lives, but not be let out for at least 60 years.

The court considered their life circumstances and the possibility they might change.

The court also noted that the government thought they could be reformed.
