Bijnor Court Delivers Life Sentence in Shocking Child Murder Case
A court in Bijnor has handed down a life imprisonment sentence to a 35-year-old man. The conviction comes for the brutal murder of his lover's 10-year-old son. This tragic incident occurred back in 2023.
Details of the Crime and Investigation
Police records show the case began on January 16, 2023. The young boy, a resident of Jafarpur Kot under Chandpur police station, left his home to play. He never returned. His family reported him missing.
Authorities discovered the boy's body the following day. It was found in a nearby sugarcane field. A postmortem examination confirmed the cause of death. The child had been strangled.
Police registered a case against unknown persons. The charges included murder, destroying evidence, and kidnapping under the Indian Penal Code. The boy's maternal uncle filed the initial complaint. The father, a farmer, was not present during the incident.
Relationship and Motive Revealed
Investigators uncovered a disturbing relationship. The boy's mother was involved with their neighbor, Tinku Kumar. The child reportedly witnessed them engaged in an obscene act. This discovery allegedly prompted a conspiracy to eliminate the boy.
ADGC Pramod Sharma provided details on the legal process. Police arrested both individuals. They filed a chargesheet in court after completing the probe. The accused secured bail later on.
Court Verdict and Acquittal
On Saturday, Additional District Judge-2 Alka Chaudhary delivered the verdict. The fast track court found Tinku Kumar guilty of the crime. The judge convicted him accordingly.
However, the court acquitted the boy's mother. Officials cited a lack of sufficient evidence against her. She walked free due to this legal technicality.
Operation Conviction Campaign
This case proceeded under the Operation Conviction campaign. The Uttar Pradesh government launched this fast-track prosecution strategy. It aims to secure swift justice for serious crimes.
The campaign focuses particularly on organized crime and offenses against women and children. Chandpur police pursued this murder case under its framework. They worked to ensure a timely conviction.
