UP Court Sentences Father and Four Others to Life for Daughter's Murder in Framing Case
A court in Pilibhit, Uttar Pradesh, sentenced a man, Anees, and four others to life imprisonment for the 2022 murder of Anees's nine-year-old daughter, Anam. The crime was part of a conspiracy to falsely implicate a villager, Sakil, in a murder case after he filed a rape complaint against Anees and his brother. The accused allegedly drugged Anam, then Anees killed her and concealed her body. The court described the crime as extremely cruel and imposed fines on all convicted.
