Mohali Court Sentences Man to Life for 2021 Murder with Dog's Help in Case
A Mohali court sentenced Jagir Singh to life imprisonment and fined him Rs 1 lakh for the 2021 murder of goat farmer Sucha Singh. The victim's pet dog, Rocky, played a key role in locating Sucha's body buried near Jagir's farmhouse. Two other accused were acquitted, and the court rejected the prosecution's plea for the death penalty, citing the case did not meet the "rarest of rare" criteria. The murder was linked to a financial dispute over livestock payments.
