AGRA: A local court in Hathras district has sentenced a man and his friend, both in their early 50s, to life imprisonment for the murder of the former's 70-year-old mother. The murder, committed nine years ago, was part of a plot to frame the man's rivals, said police, reports Mohammad Dilshad.
The case dates back to March 16, 2015, when Satyaveer Singh claimed that a group of villagers from Bilkhora had attacked his home, killing his mother, Sona Devi, and injuring his wife Satyawati Devi.
Cops filed a case against six villagers - Arjun Singh, Nahar Singh, Saurabh Singh, Gaurav Kumar, KP Singh, and Pawan Kumar - as suspects.
Probe later revealed that Singh, with the help of his friend and son Lokendra Singh had murdered his own mother. The crime was intended to implicate Singh's enemies in a false case. Satyaveer and his friend were arrested, while Lokendra remains absconding.
Cops added that the conspirators also staged an attack on Satyaveer's wife to make their story more convincing.
