A court in Muzaffarnagar has sentenced a man to life imprisonment for the murder of his minor nephew in 2021, according to a government counsel.
“The District Sessions Judge Vinay Kumar convicted Anuj Kumar for the murder of his nephew Sandesh in 2021. The court awarded life imprisonment to the convict and also slapped a fine of Rs 25,000,” district government counsel Rajiv Sharma said.
It was notified that Kumar had some personal rivalry with the father of Sandesh.
The incident occurred in September 2021. The convict took Sandesh to an orchard where he killed him by hitting him with a brick.
An FIR was lodged against Kumar at the Bhaura Kalan police station in this district. The police later filed a charge sheet in the matter following the investigation, the counsel added.
