A West Bengal court on Thursday awarded death penalty to 11 people convicted of murdering a woman over a land dispute in Nadia district.
The Nadia district court sentenced the 11 people to death. They were convicted to shooting Aparna Bag to death during her attempt to prevent them from grabbing land in Krishnagunge on 23 November 2014.
While Bag was killed, two other women and a minor had sustained bullet injuries. The prosecution had charge-sheeted 12 people in the case, with one of them still absconding.
