Former INLD MLA Bali Pehalwan and Six Others Convicted in 2011 Murder Case
A local court convicted former Indian National Lok Dal MLA Balbir Singh, known as Bali Pehalwan, and six others in a 2011 murder case involving a clash at the Kalanaur grain market that resulted in the death of Vishnu Ram. The court acquitted several accused due to insufficient evidence and noted some died during the trial. The case gained attention when police faced resistance arresting Bali Pahalwan, who later surrendered and was jailed before bail. Sentencing arguments are scheduled for Thursday.
