💨 Abstract

A local court in Maharajganj, UP, sentenced a 70-year-old woman to life imprisonment and a fine of Rs 25,000 for burning her daughter-in-law to death over dowry demands in 2017. The victim's father lodged an FIR, and nine witnesses testified during the trial. The court hopes the sentence will deter potential offenders from committing such crimes.
