Baripada: A local court in Odisha’s Mayurbhanj district Friday sentenced a man to life imprisonment for killing an elderly man.
Mayurbhanj District Additional Sessions Judge Satyanarayan Patra also imposed a fine of Rs 50,000 on convict Rajesh Mohanta.
Additional Public Prosecutor Krushna Chandra Das said the murder stemmed from a previous enmity between Mohanta and 65-year-old Anil Mohanta. The incident took place March 25, 2023 in Nedabhadi village under Jharpokhria police limits.
The case was registered under Section 302 of the IPC. The judgment was based on the testimonies of 16 witnesses and medical reports, according to Das.
