Kaushambi Court in Uttar Pradesh recently sentenced two men and three of their family members to life imprisonment for the murder of their father. The case revolved around a dispute concerning the division of their father’s retirement fund.
The complainant, Narendra Pal, one of the victim Bajinath Pal’s sons, reported on June 20, 2021, that his father had been killed by his brothers Virendra and Surendra, along with their respective wives Aarti and Lalita, and Surendra’s son Sachin.
