Parents, grandfather sentenced to life for killing woman, lover in UP
Budaun (UP)(PTI): A local court has sentenced the parents and grandfather of a 19-year-old woman to life imprisonment for killing her along with her lover earlier this year.
Additional District and Sessions Judge, First, Farah Matlub on Tuesday held Mahesh, his wife Bhagwati and father Ram Avtar guilty of killing his daughter Neetu and her lover Jaipal (20) and awarded them life imprisonment.
The court also imposed a fine of Rs 1 lakh on each of the convicts.
Enraged over his daughter Neetu's relationship with Jaipal, Mahesh along with his wife and father, hacked Jaipal and his daughter to death with a spade on January 2 this year in Parauli village, additional district government counsel Sanjiv Gupta said.
Jaipal’s father Surajpal had lodged an FIR alleging that despite repeated attempts by both families to dissuade the couple, they continued to meet, which infuriated Mahesh and led to the killings.
Police registered a case against the three accused and filed the charge sheet within 16 days.
Gupta said the court, after hearing arguments from both sides, convicted the trio and ordered that the fine amount be paid to Jaipal’s parents as compensation.

Woman throws 18-month-old daughter in drain in Faridabad: Police
Faridabad (PTI): A woman allegedly killed her 18-month-old child - her sixth daughter - by throwing her into a drain in Faridabad, claiming she committed the crime as she was unable to take care of her family due to poverty, according to police.
The incident occurred near Dheeraj Nagar on April 23 when the girl's body was found stuck in an iron mesh along a drain by two school children, the police said on Sunday, adding the body was retrieved and sent for a postmortem.
A Crime Branch team, which was probing the case, found CCTV footage showing the girl's mother carrying her in her arms in the area. She then returned alone. The police took the woman into custody, and during questioning, she confessed to throwing the girl into the drain, they said.
The infant died of drowning.
The accused was identified as Neelam, a native of Madhubani in Bihar. She lived in Faridabad with her husband Sanjay, who works in a private firm, the police said.
A senior investigating officer said that during interrogation, the woman said that the deceased was the youngest of her six daughters and that she was driven to commit the crime due to poverty.
"She revealed that her family's financial situation was extremely poor, and with six daughters, she was unable to raise them properly," the officer said.
Police spokesperson Yashpal said they are investigating the matter and the entire picture will be clear soon.
