A court in Latur has handed life sentences to two men for the murder of Prabhakar Salunkhe, who was killed in 2020.

The judgement from District and Sessions Court judge RB Rote came on Wednesday, sentencing Dhanraj Sudhakar Aglave and Raju Laxman Gaikwad to life in prison. They were also fined Rs 1000 each.

The prosecution argued that Salunkhe was killed because he opposed an illicit relationship between his wife and Aglave. The case was strengthened by key pieces of evidence, including CCTV footage and forensic findings.
