Life term upheld

By K. Balchand

PATNA, NOV. 12. The Patna High Court has upheld the ruling of a Bhagalpur court, sentencing 16 persons to life imprisonment in connection with a case relating to the communal riots of 1989.

The division bench of P. N. Yadav and Mridula Mishra yesterday dismissed the petition of the accused who challenged the Bhagalpur court's ruling on the Chanderi (village) episode, in which 61 persons belonging to the minority community were killed.

The only witness of the massacre, Mallika Begum, lost a limb in the violence. She also lost 11 members of her family.
