Man gets lifer for killing woman

NEW DELHI, APRIL 29. A city court today sentenced a man to life imprisonment for murdering a woman in South West Delhi in 2002 following a dispute over water. The Additional Sessions Judge, R.K. Yadav, also ordered the convict Vijay (21) to pay a fine of Rs. 500.

On July 8, 2002, Gaurav Sharma had gone to fetch water from a broken pipe as there was a shortage of water supply in Mohan Garden area near Uttam Nagar where he was staying.

Gaurav met Vijay there and they had an argument over who would collect the water first. Vijay then passed indecent remarks against Gaurav's mother Shashi Sharma.

Gaurav went home and narrated the incident to his mother. Thereafter, the mother and son went to the residence of Vijay and had a heated exchange of words.

Vijay slapped Shashi, beat her up with a belt and hit her on the head with a brick. She later succumbed to her injuries. Prosecution examined 25 witnesses in the case. -- PTI
