A sessions court here awarded life imprisonment to two persons today in the 2012 murder case of budding actor Meenakshi Thapa.
Additional Sessions Judge S G Shette awarded the sentence to Amit Jaiswal (36) and his girlfriend Preeti Surin (26).
The court had convicted them on Wednesday under IPC sections 302 (murder) and 364-A (kidnapping for ransom).
"The prosecution had sought harshest punishment for Jaiswal and Surin. However, the judge observed that it was not the rarest of rare case and also the convicts have dependents on them. The court sentenced them to life imprisonment," special public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam said.
