New Delhi, Sep 4 (IANS) A court here sentenced to death a 28-year-old man who murdered his parents, who had adopted him, and his pregnant wife in 2008, terming him a menace to society.
"The convict (Nitin) is a menace to the society. When he did not spare his own parents and wife and killed them in cold blood, what respect he would show for the lives of others," Additional Sessions Judge Virender Bhat said.
The court called the convict a live bomb, which has the potential of causing a huge catastrophe, if not destroyed at the earliest.

London: The owners of a new menswear store called 'Hitler' in the Indian state of Gujarat, have claimed that they will rename the shop after they received several complaints from Israelis.
Rajesh Shah, one of the shop's co-owners, claimed that they would rename it "tomorrow or the day after".
"Yes we are planning to change the name. There has been too much political pressure from the government," Shah told the BBC.
Earlier, Jews in the city of Ahmedabad, where the shop was opened, had claimed that using the Nazi dictator's name was offensive. Israel's consul general to Mumbai, Orna Sagiv, had also asked state officials to intervene and help get the store's name changed.
