Additional District Sessions Judge D C Singh held Ajay, Arun and Anuradha guilty under section 302 of IPC (punishment for murder) and sentenced them to life in prison for the murder of Dinesh Sharma. The court also imposed a fine of Rs 35000 each on them.
Sharma was murdered on August 06, 2013 at Behsuma town in Meerut after he refused to pay extortion money of Rs five lakh to the accused.
Earlier, the Allahabad High Court had shifted the hearing of the case to Muzaffarnagar court on the request of the victim's family.
