MP, 8 Dec 2023, Alipurduar: The Additional District and Sessions Court sentenced one Suraj Oraon to rigorous 7 years imprisonment for murder. He was convicted for murdering his uncle Dasharath Oraon. 

“Judge Anamitra Bhattacharya sentenced Suraj to rigorous imprisonment for 7 years under Section 304 of the Indian Penal Code. Eight witnesses were examined during the course of this case,” stated Debarshi Chatterjee, senior Panel Public Prosecutor at the Alipurduar District Court.
