In a gripping courtroom spectacle, Mamta Pathak, a former chemistry professor, has taken her defense into her own hands as she challenges her life imprisonment sentence. Pathak was convicted of murdering her husband through electrocution, a claim she disputes based on her understanding of chemistry.
The murder case gained widespread attention after a video emerged showing Pathak's courtroom arguments. She contends that the autopsy, which identified electric burn marks, lacked the precision to distinguish these from thermal burns without chemical analysis. Her knowledge as a chemistry professor fortified her argument.
With the high court reserving its judgment, the case remains unresolved but has sparked significant debate. The court extended her temporary suspension of sentence until a decision is made, allowing time for further legal scrutiny.
