Temple service as punishment for Murder

He is just 15-year-old & is convicted of murdering a minor. A juvenile court in Bihar state of India has ordered him to do community service at a temple every day for six months.

Mantan Kumar alias Vishwajit Singh, who killed five-year-old Puja Kumari Dec 10, 2002 and concealed her body in a field, was awarded the punishment by the Juvenile Justice Board here.

"He started doing community service at the Mahavir temple Friday," said Kishore Kunal, secretary of the shrine located near the Patna railway station.

The court had also ordered that Rs.10,000 be paid to the victim's family.

While Mantan will work at the temple from morning till evening, he will continue to stay with his parents.

Mantan has already served over four years in prison after he was found guilty of rape and murder.

According to Kunal, Mantan will clean the temple floor, look after the shoe stand and distribute food to beggars and the poor.
