Uncle Jailed for Life in Nephew's Tragic Murder Case

In a tragic culmination of a family dispute, a local court has sentenced Rohit Pandey to life imprisonment for the murder of his 10-year-old nephew, Krishna Pandey. The incident took place in the Berwa Paharpur village on December 11, 2024.

Officials reported that Rohit, known for his alcohol addiction, attacked Krishna with a sharp-edged knife after being reprimanded by his elder brother for his drinking habits. Although the child was rushed to Varanasi's trauma center, he succumbed to his injuries.

Following a complaint from Rahul Pandey, Rohit's brother, law enforcement swiftly arrested Rohit, leading to a court case. After a thorough examination of evidence and hearing arguments from both sides, Judge Pushpa Singh delivered the life sentence along with a fine of Rs 25,000 on Tuesday.
