Rupam Pathak Gets Life Imprisonment for Killing Bihar MLA


Patna, Apr 10 (PTI): School teacher Rupam Pathak was today sentenced to life imprisonment by a special CBI court for killing BJP MLA Rajkishore Keshri in Bihar's Purnia town last year.

Designated CBI Judge B N Singh had earlier pronounced her guilty of stabbing Keshri to death on January 4, 2011 and fixed today as the date to decide the quantum of punishment.

Soon after the murder of Keshri, the chief minister had recommended a CBI probe into the killing.

On April 2, 2011, the central investigative agency had filed the charge sheet against Pathak under Indian Penal Code's section 304 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder carrying a maximum punishment of life imprisonment).

    I don't hail this decision unless all criminal's are punished. Will the Indian court's do the same thing for cases against politicians and influencial person's? Everybody is equal in front of law. But sad part is Indian Law authorities are not following this and hence we can see politician's and highly influencial person's with criminal background are roaming freely.

    very nice to note that the court has given the verdict in 15 months time. if the same trend is practiced by ALL OTHER COURTS, the common and poor man will get the justice, which is far away from his approach
