Property Dispute Ends in Life Sentences for Six
9 Sep
Summary
- Six individuals received life sentences for murder.
- The conviction stems from a 2002 property dispute attack.
- Two victims sustained serious injuries in the assault.
In a significant development following a decades-long legal battle, a Barabanki court has delivered a life imprisonment sentence to six individuals. The conviction relates to a violent incident that transpired on October 31, 2002, in Roshan Chak village.
The case involved a property dispute that escalated into a brutal attack. The convicted individuals, armed with various weapons including lathis, bamboo sticks, and firearms, assaulted Shripal (60) and two other family members outside their home.
Shripal succumbed to his injuries during treatment at the district hospital, while Sukhdev and Arvind sustained grievous wounds. The police investigation concluded that the accused operated as an organized gang.
Although the court dismissed the Gangsters Act charge due to insufficient proof, it found Yadupal, Rajpal, Akhilesh, Ramu alias Abhishek, Shivraj, and Chhannu alias Uday Pratap guilty of murder, attempt to murder, and rioting with deadly weapons. Three additional accused were summoned during the trial, and four individuals died during the proceedings. Each convict was also fined Rs 20,000.
