Mother and Son Sentenced to Life for Murdering Pregnant Widow
Imagine a woman was dating a guy, and she got pregnant.
She wanted to get married, but he didn't.
Sadly, with his mother's help, they hurt and killed her.
The court found them guilty and sent them to jail for the rest of their lives.
They also had to pay fines.
Because they tried to hide the evidence, they got extra jail time too.
The police found the woman's body and were able to identify her.
The court decided to help the woman's kids by giving them money.
It was a very sad situation because it was a very violent crime.
A mother and son were sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of a pregnant widow.
The victim was killed using a sharp-edged weapon and her body was disposed of in multiple locations.
The motive was the victim's pregnancy and her pressure on Kaushal to marry her.
The court invoked the Bihar Victim Compensation Scheme, 2014, for the victim's children.
Both convicts were found guilty under IPC sections 302 and 201, with sentences running concurrently.
