Mohali Painter Convicted in 2023 Murder Case

In a Mohali district and sessions court, a man named Ajay has been found guilty in a murder case from 2023. The conviction, under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code, marks a significant development in the investigation into the death of Rajveer. The court is scheduled to pronounce the sentence on Thursday.

The incident occurred on February 7, 2023, when Rajveer died from severe head injuries at a civil hospital. His brother, Vijay, identified Ajay, a fellow painter, as the assailant. The alleged murder took place at a bungalow in Mohali's TDI Sector 117, where the victim and the accused were employed.

During police interrogation, Ajay confessed to disposing of the murder weapon, an iron rod, in a storeroom. Authorities subsequently recovered the rod, which bore visible bloodstains, providing crucial evidence in the case. The trial has now concluded with a guilty verdict.
