Mumbai, Dec 20: The special court for cases registered under the SC and ST Act has convicted two men booked for the murder of a BMC official, carried out allegedly to take revenge for the marriage of their niece with the brother-in-law of the deceased in May 2021.
Accused sentenced to life imprisonment
The two accused who have now been convicted are Balakrishan Nadar (40) and his brother Margesh Nadar (30). They have been sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of Vasantkumar Devendra, committed to take revenge after Nadar’s niece married Devendra’s brother-in-law.
Marriage dispute triggered violent revenge
As per the prosecution case, Nadar’s sister’s daughter Sandhya married Vignesh. Vignesh was the brother of Devendra’s wife, Priyanka. It is claimed that Vignesh belonged to a lower caste than Sandhya, and hence the marriage was opposed by Sandhya’s family. Therefore, her uncles, the accused, had threatened Devendra with dire consequences if the marriage took place. Despite the warning, Vignesh and Sandhya got married against the wishes of her family.
