AGRA: Five people were sentenced to death and one to life imprisonment by the additional district and sessions judge on Monday for murdering two persons over a land dispute in Aligarh in 2015.
Additional district and sessions judge Rajesh Bhardwaj also imposed a fine of Rs 3000 each on Ehsan (32), Asif Thakur (38), and Rs 4000 each on Kafeel (28), Vakeel (28), and Bhura (30). They were charged under section 302 (murder), 149 (Every member of unlawful assembly guilty of offence committed in prosecution of common object) and 120 B (criminal conspiracy) of IPC.
However, the court awarded life sentence to Gyassuddin Khan (75) as he was the one who gave the “supari” (contract) for killing two persons— Naushe and Chand.
Talking to TOI, Additional District Government Council Krishna Murari Johri said that on July 24, 2015, Naushe and Chand had gone to attend a family function in Mamood Nagar, where the five accused had shot them and then crushed their head with bricks as they were given a killing contract by Khan. He said that six people were convicted today by the court.
