District Magistrate Kaushalendra Yadav yesterday sentenced Pushpa and her son Dinesh to life imprisonment after they were found guilty of murder.
On September 21, 2013, Gajendra, a resident of Shivshakti had registered a case alleging that his daughter Laxmi was murdered by goons.
Investigations, however, found that the Laxmi was involved in a relationship with a boy in the village. Upset over the relationship, her mother and brother strangulated her to death with a rope.
The court has also imposed a fine of Rs 10,000 each on the duo.
