In a series of recent murder cases across India, courts have delivered life sentences to the guilty parties. In Chitradurga, Mehaboob Basha was sentenced to life imprisonment for murdering his wife, Ameena Bhanu, after suspecting her fidelity, with evidence including eyewitness accounts and a dying declaration. A Narnaul court sentenced four individuals to life for the abduction and murder of Pritam, who succumbed to injuries after being attacked. In Chandigarh, Gurudutt Mishra received life imprisonment for stabbing a friend, Ritesh, to death during an unprovoked attack, with forensic evidence supporting the conviction despite the main witness turning hostile. Additionally, a high court commuted a death sentence to life imprisonment for a man involved in the 2013 murder of a four-year-old girl. These cases highlight ongoing issues of violence and legal accountability within the Indian judicial system.
