A teacher will be hanged next month after raping a girl in India so violently that she had to have her intestines realigned. Mahendra Singh Gond is set to become the first person executed since a change in the law last year which introduced the death penalty for child rapists. 'The incident assumes greater significance because the person involved is a teacher who is supposed to teach lessons in morality to his students.' Last year the law was changed to allow the death penalty for rapists who attack a child aged under 12. Four men were sentenced to death for raping and torturing the medical student in New Delhi, although they remain on death row.
