A rickshaw puller has been handed a six‑year prison term for a murder committed in 2011, as ordered by the court.
The court has convicted a rickshaw puller and imposed a six‑year imprisonment term for a homicide that took place in 2011. The verdict marks the conclusion of a long‑running criminal proceeding that began shortly after the murder was reported.
Details of the victim and the circumstances surrounding the 2011 incident were not disclosed in the brief ruling, which focused solely on the sentencing. The judge noted that the evidence presented was sufficient to establish the puller's culpability beyond reasonable doubt.
Legal experts said the case underscores the judiciary's willingness to pursue delayed justice in serious crimes, even when the accused belong to marginalized occupations. The puller is expected to be taken into custody immediately to serve the term.
