Court in Bulandshahr sentences 12 to life imprisonment in 2012 murder case
Agency: Bulandshahr (UP), Aug 19 (PTI) A local court here on Tuesday sentenced 12 people to life imprisonment and imposed fines on them in connection with a 2012 murder case. District Government Counsel (Criminal) Rahul Upadhyay said the case stemmed from an old enmity between one Rais and Yusuf's family in the Kotwali Nagar area. On August 21, 2012, Rais's relative Azad, a resident of Khurja, was attacked. A case was registered immediately, which allegedly triggered a retaliatory assault three days later. On August 24, 2012, 15 men allegedly attacked Rais' family, killing his nephew Wahid by gunfire. The attackers later reached one Nasur's house and assaulted Meena and Rashid, causing injuries, Upadhyay said. Of the 15 named accused, three died during court proceedings. On Tuesday, District and Sessions Judge Manjit Singh Sheoran convicted the remaining 12 under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code and awarded them life imprisonment. Each convict was fined Rs 50,500, while four who were found in possession of firearms were fined an additional Rs 5,000 each, taking their total penalty to Rs 55,500, Upadhyay said.

The Abu Dhabi Criminal Court initially imposed a fine of Dh20,000 on the driver and mandated a Dh200,000 diya (blood money) payment to the family under Sharia law. Considering the diya amount insufficient to support the bereaved family, YAB Legal Services, legally led by Salam Pappinissery, filed a supplementary compensation claim with the UAE's Insurance Authority. After thorough legal proceedings including submission of essential documents such as a legal heir certificate, breadwinner certificate, and court judgment, the court directed the insurance company to pay an additional Dh200,000. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Best-Paying Degrees of 2025 Are Not What You Think Best Paying Degrees | Search Ads Learn More Undo This raised the total compensation to Dh400,000.
