A railway employee has been sent to jail for five years by a Delhi court for trying to kill a milk seller after he sought payment of Rs 2,500 from him two decades ago.
Additional Sessions Judge Manoj Jain handed down the jail term to Delhi resident Avtar Singh for stabbing dairy businessman Paramjeet Singh who had gone to the convict's house in 1995 to collect payment for milk supplied to him. Singh has since expired.
"Prosecution has been able to prove its case to the hilt. Avtar Singh is held guilty and convicted for commission of <g data-gr-id="13">offence</g> under Section 307 (attempt to murder) of IPC," the court said.
It also slapped a fine of Rs 50,000 on Avtar.
