A local court today sentenced eight persons to life imprisonment for murdering a 50-year-old man two years ago in a dispute over land and a well in Tahala village of the district.
The Sessions court judge Ashok Kumar Vyas convicted Tejmal, Bhola, Jagdish, Devlal, Devkaran, Radhye Shyam, Nanda and Kajod for murdering 50-year-old Kalyan Gujjar and awarded them the sentence, prosecuting counsel Bhupendra Sahay Saxena said.
Gujjar, a resident of Tahala village, died in January 2013 during treatment in hospital after being attacked with sharp weapons and sticks by the eight when he was returning home at night, according to prosecution.
