💨 Abstract

A Delhi court sentenced three men to life imprisonment for extorting Rs 2 crore ransom 15 years ago for the release of a businessman's son. The court called the offense heinous and said the trauma of the victim's family could be understood. The court observed that the poverty of the convicts was not a mitigating factor as the aggravating factors outweighed the mitigating ones.
