Maharashtra Courts Sentence Three Individuals to Life Imprisonment in Separate Murder CasesPreviousNext

Three separate court cases in Maharashtra resulted in life imprisonment sentences for individuals convicted of murder. In Thane, a woman received life imprisonment for stabbing her 18-month-old daughter, while her husband was sentenced to four years for evidence tampering. In Nashik, the Bombay High Court commuted death sentences to life terms for two men convicted of a 2013 murder. Additionally, a Kalyan man was sentenced to life for murdering his wife by setting her on fire in 2020, with the court relying on dying declarations and forensic evidence.
