NEW YORK: A woman whose daughter was murdered during a trip to India with her NRI fiancé two years ago has been awarded $4 million by an American court in a wrongful death lawsuit. Judge Isabel B Stark of a court in Hackensack, New Jersey, awarded the sum to Madeleine Swiderski, who had sued NRI businessman Pragnesh Desai claiming he was liable for the wrongful death of her 33-year-old daughter Leona. Mr. Desai, who maintains his innocence and is fighting extradition from India, along with Leona flew to India in February 2003 and was planning to marry her. Leona disappeared shortly after the plane landed in Mumbai and her body was found days later. Mr. Desai was later charged with hiring a childhood friend to kill Leona to collect $1 million in insurance. Although the pair was acquitted in India, authorities there are appealing the acquittal. — PTI
