A Munger court today awarded death sentence to five Naxalites after convicting them of murder of two CRPF jawans in an ambush during the 2014 Lok Sabha polls in Bihar.
Additional Sessions Judge (I) Jyoti Swarup Srivastava also slapped a fine of Rs 25,000 on each of the convicts -- Vipin Mandal, Adhiklal Pandit, Ratu Koda, Wano Koda and Manu Koda.
