Dhananjoy Chatterjee (14 August 1965 – 15 August 2004) was the first person who was judicially executed in India in the 21st century for murder. The execution by hanging took place in Alipore Jail, Kolkata, on 15 August 2004.[2][3] He was charged in 1990 for the crimes of rape and murder of Hetal Parekh, an 18-year-old school-girl.[1][4]
The execution stirred up public debates and attracted immense attention from media. Dhananjoy was convicted and hanged.[5]
This was the first hanging in West Bengal since 21 August 1991 at Alipore Jail.[6][7][8]
