Three Men Sentenced to Life for 2002 Murder of Noida Police Chief's FatherPreviousNext

A special CBI court in Lucknow sentenced three men to life imprisonment for the 2002 murder of advocate Indradev Singh, father of Noida Police Commissioner Laxmi Singh. Singh was shot near Kaiserbagh while returning from court, linked to a land dispute. The court convicted Vikram Yadav, Panna Singh, and Brajesh Yadav for murder and conspiracy, imposing fines and canceling bail for two. Three other accused died during the trial, which lasted nearly 24 years.
