I-T officer who assaulted TC with chappal gets 6-mth RI, fined Rs 1L

A sessions court in Mumbai has convicted and sentenced Rishikumar Singh, an assistant income-tax commissioner, to six months' rigorous imprisonment and a fine of Rs 1 lakh. Singh assaulted a ticket checker at a railway station in 2016 for discharging his duty. The victim, Sujitkumar Gupta, asked Singh to show his ticket, but Singh replied that he was an income-tax commissioner and didn't need one. Singh hit Gupta with his chappal when stopped from leaving. The judge refuted Singh's claims and stated that not wearing a blazer or tie doesn't change the nature of the duty of a public servant.

An unemployed man in Mumbai has been sentenced to life imprisonment for setting his wife on fire in 2017. The man suspected his wife's character and was unhappy with her for working outside the home. The court relied on the wife's dying declaration, dismissing the defense witness, their son, as possibly being influenced. The judge stated that the crime did not warrant the death penalty and that the evidence pointed to the act being homicidal rather than a suicide. The wife's dying declaration was considered credible and consistent with other evidence. from Mumbai News: Latest Mumbai News Headlines, Coronavirus News, BMC Elections 2022 Updates from Mumbai - Times of India https://ift.tt/mxIbDOf
