Woman gets lifer for daughter's killing

Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI: A Karkardooma court here on Tuesday sentenced a woman and her paramour to life imprisonment for abducting and killing her 17-year-old daughter in 2001.

Additional Sessions Judge Rajender Kumar also imposed a fine of Rs. 15,000 on Geeta Rani and Rs. 20,000 on her paramour Satish. The court had found the two guilty of murder, abduction, tampering with evidence and criminal conspiracy on Monday. According to the prosecution, Arti, daughter of Geeta Rani and a resident of Dilshad Colony in North-East Delhi, had lodged several complaints against her mother including murder of her father Mamchand.

The two convicts had asked the girl to accompany them to Aligarh in Uttar Pradesh on the evening of May 27, 2001, on some pretext. On their way, they stopped at a roadside motel where they drugged and stabbed her before dumping her into a canal taking her to be dead.

However, Arti was spotted by some passers-by and rushed to a hospital in Aligarh. Before succumbing to her injuries on June 28, 2001, Arti got her dying declaration recorded accusing her mother and her lover of attacking her.
