SILCHAR: Agitated locals of Panibhara area in Dholai demanded capital punishment for Asharam Kewot of the same village after he was caught red handed while attempting to rape a 10-year-old girl. Kewot was later handed over to the police and subsequently arrested. Police sources said that Kewot, a 24-year-old married man, tried to rape the minor as she was alone in her house. She raised an alarm and the neighbours, after hearing her screaming, rushed to spot and found Kewot there, who tried to flee but failed.
