In Jhalawar, Rajasthan, an SC/ST court handed down a life sentence and a 1‑lakh rupee fine to the accused who killed Ram Babu with an axe over a love‑affair dispute.
The SC/ST court in Jhalawar delivered its verdict on Tuesday, sentencing the accused to life imprisonment and imposing a fine of one lakh rupees for the murder of Ram Babu.
Investigations revealed that the crime stemmed from a jealousy‑driven dispute over an illicit relationship. The accused allegedly used an axe to attack Ram Babu, resulting in the victim’s death.
The court emphasized that the motive was rooted in personal grievances rather than any broader criminal intent. It noted that the accused had no prior criminal record.
The life sentence reflects the severity of the offense, while the fine serves as a punitive measure for the victim’s family.
