of female disciples in 1999.
He was then sentenced to
20 years of rigorous imprisonment
and a fine of
over Rs 30 lakh.

Man killed in Delhi for objecting to smoking
Continued from page 01
‘He threatened to kill us’
“We were working on
our ‘Life of people on footpath
in Delhi’ after which
we stopped to eat something.
This man was drunk
and started blowing cigarette
smoke in our face. We
objected as we are Sikhs
and smoking is against
our religious beliefs,” said
Maninder.
“He got into an argument
and said that if we
were in Assam, he would
kill us and no one would
get to know,” he added.
Police later confirmed that
the accused was drunk.
Gurpreet’s family said
that the duo decided to
leave when the accused
threatened to kill them.
As the duo got on their
bike and left, the accused
allegedly followed them
and hit them from behind.
The speed of the car was
such that it also hit an auto-rickshaw
and a cab that
were in front of the bike.
Accused inebriated
All the injured were
immediately rushed to
the AIIMS Trauma Centre
where Gurpreet battled for
life for two days but died of
his injuries on Wednesday.
Maninder is out of
danger and is undergoing
treatment. Based on the
cab driver’s statement on
Monday, the police registered
a case under Section
279 (rash driving) and 337
(Causing hurt by act endangering
life or personal
safety of others) against
the driver.
Mahanto, who was
caught right after the incident,
was taken to the AI-
IMS where he underwent
a medical examination
and was found to have consumed
alcohol beyond permissible
limits after which
Section 185 of the Motor
Vehicle Act was added to
the FIR.
Murder charges added
On Wednesday, after
the deceased’s family demanded
a probe, the police
recorded Maninder’s statement.
“In his statement,
Maninder alleged that Rohit
had a heated exchange
with them just before the
incident and threatened
them of dire consequences,”
said Additional Deputy
Commissioner of Police
(South) Chinmoy Biswal.
This led the police to
add Section 302 (punishment
for murder) and
307 (attempt to murder)
against the accused.
According to the police,
Mahanto, a resident of Defence
Colony, is a lawyer
under the Standing Counsel
of Assam government
and his father, Anil Kumar,
is a doctor. Gurpreet
and Maninder had come
from Bhatinda to Delhi in
2016 for a year-long course
at Delhi School of Photography,
which was due to
end in October.
