A special court on Wednesday sentenced three persons to life imprisonment for a triple murder following a dispute over irrigating agricultural fields in Rajasthan’s Bundi district in 2014.
The court also imposed a fine of Rs 1.65 lakh on each of the convicts — Devilal Gurjar (44), Ramraj Gurjar (37) and Bhimraj Gurjar (34) — special public prosecutor Rajendra Kumar Jain said.
