Justice Served After Two Decades: Trio Sentenced in Cold Case

A fast track court sentenced three men to life imprisonment for the kidnapping and murder of a Class 10 student nearly 20 years ago. The court found Ravi Mishra, Aakrosh Gupta, and Yogendra Kashyap guilty. The two other accused remain at large, and the case files have been separated.

In a landmark verdict, a fast track court has sentenced three men to life imprisonment, concluding a high-profile case of kidnapping and murder that dates back nearly 20 years. The men, identified as Ravi Mishra, Aakrosh Gupta, and Yogendra Kashyap, were found guilty of abducting and killing a Class 10 student, Sunil Tomar, in a chilling crime that had shaken the community.

Presiding Judge Kuldeep Singh, on Friday, delivered the sentence along with a fine of Rs 55,000 for each convict, as confirmed by District Government Counsel (DGC) Pushpendra Singh Chauhan. The court's decision caps a long-fought legal battle to deliver justice to the victim's family.

Sunil Tomar, a resident of Power House Road, went missing on December 31, 2005, and his body was tragically discovered a day later near Jalalpur village. Though two of the accused, Shailendra Yadav and Shailendra Kashyap, remain at large, officials continue their search to bring them to justice.
