The SC/ST court handed down the death sentence for Subhash Kumar Sharma, a native of Bihar, for the murder of Dalit youth P. Pranay six years ago. Other convicts Asghar Ali, Abdul Bari, M.A. Karim, Shravan Kumar, auto driver Nizam, and Maruthi Rao’s car driver Shiva have been sentenced to life imprisonment. The sensational murder was caught on CCTV camera and had drawn the national attention. Amrutha, who had been fighting for justice in the case and had vowed never to return to her parents’ house, delivered a baby boy in 2019. Police had filed a 1,600-page charge sheet in the trial court. All accused except Subhash Sharma were granted bail in 2019, and Sharma was convicted and sentenced to death in March. He committed suicide on March 7, 2020, while on bail. He is also an accused in the 2003 killing of former Gujarat Home Minister Haren Pandya.
