A fast track court in Asansol has sentenced a person to life imprisonment in a murder case of his neighbour in presence of his mother about three years ago.
On 18 January 2022, one Fajal Imam of Charbi Mohalla in Rahamat Nagar, under Hirapur police station was murdered. His neighbour Mohamed Ali alias Sonu stabbed him repeatedly with a knife in his abdomen in front of his mother due to an old rivalry. To ensure his death he also slit his throat with the knife and later snatched a scooty from a passerby from the lane in broad daylight and fled away.
