A local court in Uttarakhand has sentenced a man to life imprisonment for killing his wife for dowry six years ago.
Pauri District and Sessions Judge Kumkum Rani sentenced Vinod Kumar to life in prison as he pleaded guilty for killing his wife in a fit of rage after a quarrel with her for dowry in October 2007.
The judge also imposed a fine of Rs 25000 on him.
The body of Vinod's wife Lakshmi, who had gone missing after the tiff with her husband was recovered from the banks of the Ganga a few days after the crime.
