A court in Madhya Pradesh's Morena district has sentenced 10 members of a family to life imprisonment for killing a man over a dispute 12 years ago.
The second additional judge of a court in Joura town on Monday convicted the accused of charges under relevant sections of the IPC and sentenced them to life imprisonment, a prosecution official said.
The court also imposed a fine of Rs 4,000 each on the 10 accused, he said.
The accused had a long-standing dispute with the victim Shivkumar of Tikrouli village. On November 3, 2010, the victim was coming back from a shop when the accused armed with various weapons surrounded him.
One of the accused Manoj Gurjar shot the victim from a close range, causing grievous injuries and fled the spot, additional public prosecutor Anil Agrawal said.
The victim succumbed to his injuries during treatment and a case of murder was subsequently registered against Gurjar and his family members, he said.
