District and Sessions Judge Abdul Shahid convicted and passed the sentence against Suraj Kumar Prajapati for killing his wife Sanju.

Sanju died in April 2018 following which her father lodged a case against Prajapati, alleging that he tortured and killed her as his dowry demand was not met.

District Government Counsel Yogesh Kumar stated, “Police filed a charge sheet in the case following investigation. After hearing both sides the judge announced Prajapati guilty and awarded him life imprisonment.”
