Man gets life imprisonment for killing sister`s love

Muzaffarnagar (UP): A 21-year-old youth
was on Tuesday sentenced to life imprisonment by a fast-track court
here for killing his sister`s lover as he was opposed to their
affair.

Judge Pradeep Gupta also slapped a fine of Rs 10,000
on Arif Ansari but acquitted his three brothers for want of
evidence.

According to prosecution, 18-year-old Farukh was
strangulated to death at Budhana town in the district in
August 2006. Police had registered a case against Arif,
Naushad, Islamuddin and Rahimuddin accusing them of murdering
Farukh for having an affair with their sister.

Arif was convicted for murder under Section 302 of IPC
while his brothers were acquitted.
