In Azamgarh, a district court delivered a three-year rigorous imprisonment sentence to Akhand Pratap Singh on Tuesday.

This ruling marks a significant legal action against a known criminal.
The case originated from a September 19, 2019, complaint detailing Singh's deliberate violation of court directives. Despite a proclamation under section 82 of the criminal procedure code, he failed to appear. Following an investigation and trial where 11 prosecution witnesses testified, the court found him guilty.
