UP Man Sentenced to Life for Killing Brother-in-Law Over Sister's Marriage
A Bareilly court sentenced Said Khan to life imprisonment and fined him Rs 30,000 for killing his brother-in-law, Zakir Ahmed, with a knife on May 5, 2024. The attack was reportedly motivated by Khan's resentment over his sister's love marriage to Zakir, which was against the family's wishes. Zakir died from his injuries in hospital. The prosecution presented eight witnesses, and the conviction was achieved under the 'Operation Conviction' campaign with police and court assistance.
