A Court in Ramgarh sentenced a Man to Life Imprisonment after he was convicted of killing his wife for dowry 2 years ago.

SK Shukla, the additional public prosecutor, said the Court on Wednesday awarded life term to 27-year-old Naresh Mahto, who had in Feb 2018 poisoned his 21-year-old wife Dayamani Devi, after she failed to pay him a dowry of Rs 50,000.

The Woman's father filed a Police complaint, following which Mahato was arrested.

The Court of Additional District Judge Sanjay Pratap Singh had found Mahto guilty of killing his wife under section 304(B) of IPC (dowry death) on Sept 24, & had set aside September 30 for pronouncing the quantum of punishment.

As many as ten witnesses, including the investigating officer & assistant sub-inspector of Patratu police station, Ram Pravesh Sharma, were examined by the Court.
