Sikar, Nov 30 (PTI) A court here on Saturday sentenced a man to death for killing his 19-year-old daughter and her lover and sent nine others to life in jail for their involvement in the crime.
Besides this, the court of Additional District Sessions judge Mahendra Pratap Beniwal also sent another convict to three years in jail while acquitting three accused, citing benefit of doubt.
