A Delhi court has handed down a rigorous life sentence to Satender Pal Singh for the murder of his wife, Vimlesh, in 2013.
Presided over by Additional Sessions Judge Rakesh Kumar, the court dismissed Singh's claims of suicide, asserting that the evidence, including strangulation marks and a scene of struggle, confirmed a homicidal act.
The court emphasized that the defendant, last seen with Vimlesh, failed to offer a compelling explanation for her death, thereby sealing the verdict based on the prosecution's comprehensive evidence.
