A local court has awarded life imprisonment to two persons for killing a couple here in 2012.
First Additional Sessions Judge Dhirendra Singh handed down the punishment yesterday to Baijnath Rajput and Ramsagar Rajput under IPC Section 302 (murder) and Arms Act, prosecution said today.
The court also imposed a fine of Rs 50,000 each on the duo and directed the authorities to pay the same to the deceased couple's children.
The two had a dispute with the couple over some issue. On April 1, 2012 Baijnath shot and fatally injured the husband Mahendra in Chhattarpur town. When his wife intervened, Ramsagar fired at her, killing her on the spot, the prosecution said.
A third accused in the case was acquitted for lack of evidence.
