UP Court Awards Lifer To Bareilly Man For Starving Wife To Death
A Bareilly court sentenced Manoj to life imprisonment for starving his wife, Mamta, to death in 2021.
Bareilly (UP), May 18 (PTI) A court here has sentenced a man to life imprisonment for starving his wife to death in 2021.
Additional District and Sessions Judge Gyanendra Tripathi on Saturday also imposed a fine of Rs 10,000 on the convict Manoj.
Manoj, a resident of Kareli village, had locked his wife Mamta without food and water in a room for a week following a quarrel, Additional District Government Advocate (ADGC) Sunil Pandey said.
The matter came to light when neighbours complained to police about a foul smell emanating from his house. Police found Mamta's decomposed body wrapped in a blanket under the bed.
A case was subsequently filed against Manoj by Mamta's father.
Pandey said the court found that Mamta died due to hunger and thirst. PTI COR CDN DV DV
