The Additional District and Sessions Judge, Sundargarh on Wednesday awarded rigorous life imprisonment to a 29-year-old woman for killing her two-year-old cousin sister two years ago.
The court too imposed a fine of `5,000 on her and directed that she would undergo another two years of RI if she fails to pay the fine. Krupakara Kantke of Abanikela had on February 5, 2014 lodged a complaint at the Bhasma police station with an allegation that his two-year-old daughter Disha had gone missing since morning. Two days later, the police found the body of Disha in a gunny bag floating in Ib river. During investigation, police could establish that Anjali Kantke (27), Diash’s cousin, had killed Disha to avenge her father’s suspected role in breaking her marriage.
Hearing the case on Wednesday, Additional District and Sessions Judge DK Mishra held Anjali guilty and awarded the punishment.
