The trial of Bhimrao Kamble, accused of raping and murdering a three-year-old girl in Nasrapur, Pune, on May 1, 2026, has reached its final phase with arguments set to begin on June 20. The prosecution presented evidence from 55 witnesses and over 355 documents, including CCTV footage implicating Kamble.

The prosecution alleges he lured, assaulted, and killed the girl, then attempted to conceal the crime.
