WSN Network

Alwar (Rajasthan): Twenty people were on Friday sentenced to life imprisonment by a local court for killing three members of a Sikh family in Musakheda village two years back over a land dispute.

The fast track court of additional district judge Arun Kumar Gupta, had on September 19, found the 20 guilty while acquitting nine persons in the case as no evidence was found against them.

The court also imposed a fine of Rs 5,000 on each of the convicts.

A charge sheet was filed against 35 people in the case, of whom six were referred to a juvenile court as they were minors.

Three members of a Sikh family — Preetam Singh, Darshan Singh and Birju Singh — were killed by members of the Mev community at Musakheda on November, 24, 2005.
