Thane court in Maharashtra has sentenced a 52-year-old man from Palghar district to life imprisonment for the murder of his 75-year-old paternal uncle in a property dispute that occurred seven years ago.
Sessions Judge Rachna R Tehra also imposed a fine of Rs 5,000 on Ramdas Shankar Budhar of Jawhar taluka, convicting him under section 302 (murder) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
Additional Public Prosecutor Sandhya H Mhatre informed the court that Ramdas had an ongoing feud with his father’s brother, Ambu Navsu Budhar, regarding the division of their ancestral property. Ramdas frequently argued with his uncle, contending that he had been given non-fertile land, as per the court’s records.
On the morning of March 5, 2016, Ramdas used an axe to kill his uncle, who was sleeping on his farm.
The Additional Public Prosecutor also stated that 12 prosecution witnesses were called to establish the crime, and the court relied on circumstantial evidence to convict and sentence Ramdas.
