Life term for Haldiram owner

Raktima Bose

KOLKATA: A city Sessions Court sentenced to life imprisonment the owner of Haldiram, a city-based Indian snack food chain, here on Friday for conspiring and attempting to murder a tea-stall owner almost five years back. Four others were also awarded a life sentence in the case.

The court found guilty Prabhu Shankar Agarwal, the owner, Gopal Tiwari, Arun Khandelwal, Manoj Sharma and Raju Sonkar for the crime committed on March 30, 2005.

According to the charge sheet filed by the police, Agarwal tried to evict a tea-stall owner in front of one of his outlets in the city, initially by offering money and later by threatening him.

On the day of the incident, Tiwari and his accomplices raided the stall and fired at Pramod Sharma, the nephew of the stall owner who was sleeping in front of the shop. He survived the attack.
