In a significant verdict, a court has handed down a life sentence to a man found guilty of culpable homicide in the death of his stepmother. The incident, rooted in a family dispute over property, occurred nearly five years ago.
Additional Sessions Judge Gyan Prakash Tiwari sentenced the man, identified as Dharmveer Chaurasia alias Pankaj, to life imprisonment and imposed a fine of Rs 10,000. The homicide occurred after a confrontation over the sale of land to fund a family wedding.
The judiciary acquitted the second accused, Shribhagwan Chaurasia, due to lack of evidence. The sentencing underscores the gravity of familial conflicts escalating to violent crimes.
