Two get life term for murder

New Delhi: A local court here has sentenced two persons to life imprisonment for killing a man over a petty dispute last year.

Additional Sessions Judge Bimla Kumari also imposed a fine of Rs.20,000 each on Madhup Vashist and Himanshu Gaur, after holding them guilty for murder of their acquaintance.

According to the prosecution, a minor dispute led them to attack Prem Kumar on April 8 last year with sticks and bricks which caused fatal injuries to the victim.

The incident happened at Prashant Vihar in north west Delhi.
