Staff Reporter

BANGALORE: The VII Fast Track Court has convicted and sentenced a man and his second wife to life imprisonment for murdering his first wife. The court fined Chandrashekar and Mamatha Rs. 10,000 each.

According to the charge-sheet filed by the Subramanyapura police in the court, Chandrashekar had married Baghya in July 2002. Three months later, he sought Baghya's permission to marry another woman, Mamatha.

Despite Baghya's opposition, Chandrashekar married Mamatha on October 9, 2002. On October 10, Chandrashekar and Mamatha doused Baghya with kerosene and set her on fire, the charge-sheet said. She died on October 11.

The police are on the lookout for Dorairaj alias Dorai, an accomplice of Tajuddin, who is at large.
