Thane, Sep 4 (PTI) A court in Maharashtra's Thane district has convicted a 30-year-old man on charges of attempt to murder in a two-year-old criminal case and sentenced him to ten years rigorous imprisonment (RI).
In his order delivered on Tuesday, Additional Sessions Judge PR Ashturkar at Kalyan town also imposed a fine of Rs 3,000 on the accused, Saddam Hussain Abdul Razzak Sheikh.
While convicting and handing down ten years rigorous imprisonment to Sheikh, the judge noted the prosecution has successfully proved charges against him.
