Indore Man Sentenced After 14-Year-Old Assault Case
Years ago, during a festival, two men who had been drinking got into a fight with a police officer.
They were told to leave the area by the police officer, but they refused.
One of the men, Pawan, attacked the officer.
The other man, Suraj, died during the trial.
The court has now punished Pawan with a year in jail and a fine for hitting the officer.
The officer has since retired and passed away.
