Punish like Montresor does Fortunato in "The Cask of Amontillado" (6)

I believe the answer is:

entomb

(Other definitions for entomb that I've seen before include "Place in a sepulchre" , "Bury, place in a crypt" , "put in ground" , "Incarcerate" , "Bury in vault" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
