A court in Jabalpur convicted brothers Ashok Barman and Nandu (alias Baba) for a 2017 wedding assault, handing each a one‑year prison term and a Rs 700 fine.
The Jabalpur district court delivered its verdict in a case stemming from a violent episode that took place during a wedding ceremony in Katangi in 2017. The incident involved two blood‑related brothers, identified as Ashok Berman and Nandu, also known as Baba, who were accused of physically assaulting participants at the event.
After hearing the evidence, the court found both men guilty of assault and imposed identical punishments. Each was sentenced to one year of imprisonment and ordered to pay a fine of Rs 700. The judgment reflects the court's stance on maintaining public order during community celebrations.
The sentencing concludes a legal process that began several years after the 2017 wedding dispute. Both defendants are expected to surrender to the authorities to commence their custodial terms, while the fine is payable as directed by the court.
