A father and son have been sentenced to life imprisonment by a local court after being convicted on murder charges.
Cuttack District and Sessions court judge Gyanaranjan Purohit yesterday held Dillip Mohanty (56) and his son Debashis Mohanty (26) guilty of murdering Marya Ranjan Parida on August 18, 2012.
