Tired of too many ads? go ad free now According to the prosecution, complainant Sujit Kumar, a resident of Tiwaripur Bagia Jajmau, lodged an FIR stating that around 2am on Nov 2, 2020, his wife locked him inside a room before setting his mother Kiran Devi on fire. His sister later unlocked the room and he rushed out to find his mother engulfed in flames. Kumar suffered burn injuries while trying to extinguish the fire. The elderly woman was first admitted to Kanshi Ram Hospital and later referred to UHM Hospital, where she succumbed to her burn injuries during treatment. Initially, police booked the case under Section 326 of the IPC (causing grievous hurt by dangerous means). Following her death, the charges were amended to Section 302 (murder). Additional District Government Counsel Shiv Bhagwan Goswami told the court that the prosecution had presented evidence to establish the accused's role in the crime. During the hearing on the quantum of sentence, the defence sought leniency, arguing that it was the accused's first offence, that she was a mother of two children and that no eyewitness directly saw her set the victim on fire. They urged the court to impose the minimum sentence. The prosecution, however, pressed for the death penalty, terming the act as premeditated and heinous. The court observed that the prosecution had proved the charges beyond reasonable doubt and sentenced Anshu to life imprisonment.
