Lakhimpur Kheri Murder

The Supreme Court has upheld an order of the Allahabad High Court that dismissed an appeal filed by the Uttar Pradesh government in 2004 against Union minister Ajay Mishra's acquittal in a murder case.

A POCSO court here on Friday sentenced a juvenile to life imprisonment in a double murder and gang-rape case and imposed a total fine of Rs 46,000 on him.

Nearly a year after two minor Dalit sisters were gang-raped and murdered, a POCSO court on Monday sentenced two of the convicts to life imprisonment and two others to six years in jail.

Almost a year after two minor Dalit sisters were hanged here after being raped, a special court on Friday convicted four of the six accused in the case, a government advocate said.

Ashish Mishra, son of Union Minister Ajay Mishra, will be tried for the murder of four farmers and a journalist during a protest in Uttar Pradesh's Lakhimpur Kheri against the now-repealed farm laws.
