A court here on Wednesday sentenced nine people to life imprisonment for killing a 50-year-old man and injuring his two brothers four years ago.
The Additional District and Sessions Judge Veer Nayak Singh also imposed a fine of Rs 17,000 each on the accused -- Sanjay, Kapil, Suraj, Jagdish, Arun, Deepak, Mahavir, Rajender and Shokin.
Of the nine men, Sanjay, Kapil and Suraj are brothers.
They were held guilty under sections 302 (murder), 307 (attempt to murder), 452 (house-trespass after preparation for hurt, assault or wrongful restraint), 323 (causing hurt) and 148 (rioting, armed with deadly weapon) of the Indian Penal Code.
