Rajkot: A court in Gujarat's Rajkot has sentenced a 26-year-old man to life imprisonment for 'honour' killing of his sister (19) and brother-in-law (27) in Upleta city in April 2022.
The woman, Rina, as a minor, had eloped with Anil Mahida, prompting her father, Somji Singarkhiya, to file a case against Anil, who was subsequently jailed for six months. When Rina came of age, she married Anil against the wishes of her father and her brother, Sunil Singarkhiya.
On April 19, 2022, Rina phoned her sister-in-law and Sunil's wife, Harsha, requesting her to connect to her mother. Harsha informed Sunil and Somji about it and gave them access to the call records which revealed Anil had toothache and the couple were visiting a dentist. They used this information to plot the killings, the persecution said.
Sunil then fatally stabbed Anil and Rina before fleeing.
Additional district judge A M Shaikh of Rajkot's Dhoraji town convicted Sunil but acquitted Somji and Harsha on Thursday.
