Raipur (Chhattisgarh): A Raiour court on Monday sentenced a 43-year-old man to life imprisonment for murdering his parents and burying their bodies in the lawn of their house. The murders took place in 2020.
The murder came to light in 2016, after the arrest of the convict Udyan Das from his Bhopal residence in relation to the case of the murder of his girlfriend in 2017.
After the hearing Special Judge (Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities) Act) Hirendra Singh Tekam sentenced Das to life imprisonment, said Special Public Prosecutor Nilesh Thakur. He also said that Das was convicted under Section 302 of the IPC and a fine of Rs 1000 was imposed on him.
"The court also sentenced him to rigorous imprisonment for three years under section 201 (causing disappearance of evidence) of the IPC and slapped a fine of Rs 500. Both sentences will run concurrently," Thakur said.
