Mass Murder Case: UP Man Sentenced To Life Imprisonment In 42-Year-Old Case

Firozabad District Court of Agra, UP has recently sentenced a 90-year-old man to life imprisonment for his role in the killings of 10 people belonging to the Dalit community 42 years ago.

Also, the court imposed a fine of Rs 55,000 on the accused. If he fails to pay the fine, 13 months would be added to his life sentence.

District Government Counsel Firozabad Rajiv Upadhyay told media that the murders took place in a village called Sadhpur in the Shikohabad police station area on December 1981.

The incident was reported to the police by the village pradhan.

The chargesheet was filed in the Chief Judicial Magistrate’s court as Shikohabad that was part of the Mainpuri district at the time of the incident.

After the formation of the Firozabad district in October 1989, Shikohabad became a part of Firozabad. However, the trial of the case continued at the Mainpuri court and that too at a slow pace.

In 2021, the case was transferred to Firozabad District Court. But, by then, 9 out of the 10 accused in the case died.

Ganga Dayal who was the only surviving accused, sentenced to life imprisonment on Wednesday by the District Judge Harveer Singh.
