A youth has been sentenced to seven years in jail by a Delhi court for trying to kill a rickshaw puller by opening fire at him for demanding fare.
District Judge (DJ) J R Aryan also imposed a fine of Rs 5,000 on north-east Delhi resident Furkan after holding him guilty of attempting to murder 33-year-old Ashok, who died later during the trial of the case.
‘Victim (Ashok) in the present case was a rickshaw puller and firearm bullet injury was caused to him by accused (Furkan) when victim demanded rickshaw fare for having carried accused and other two boys in his rickshaw. The offence is grave and circumstances in which it has been committed also suggest a depraved brain committed to criminal activity,’ the court observed.
Ashok was shot at his head and was rushed to a hospital from where he was discharged a few days later after his condition turned stable.
