45 Sentenced to Life for 1993 Murders of 6 CPM Workers
A long time ago, in 1993, six people who belonged to a group called CPM were killed.
This happened after a government official was killed, and people thought CPM supporters were responsible.
Recently, a court looked at this old case again.
After a long trial, 45 people were found guilty of these murders.
The judge decided that all 45 people would spend the rest of their lives in jail as punishment.
The police reopened the case to make sure justice was served for the victims.
A Jhargram court sentenced 45 individuals to life imprisonment for the 1993 murders of six CPM workers.
The murders took place in Diyashi village, under Belpahari police station.
Police had initially charged 103 people, with 45 ultimately found guilty after extensive legal proceedings.
The case was reopened earlier this year by Jhargram police as part of a special initiative.
The court framed charges against the 45 accused on July 17 and delivered the guilty verdict on November 10.
