The second additional district and sessions judge in Chikkamagaluru, on Thursday, sentenced four people convicted of throwing acid on a woman, to life imprisonment besides a penalty of ₹5 lakh each. The convicted are Ganesh, 36, Mohammed Kabir, 30, Vinod Kumar, 38, and Abdul Majid, 38. They hatched a conspiracy and threw acid at Sumana, who was running a beauty parlour at Menase near Sringeri, on April 18, 2015. Ganesh, the prime accused, was forcing Sumana to marry him. As she refused, he had threatened that he would spoil her life. By then Sumana was separated from her husband, and Ganesh was said to be the reason for the differences between the couple. Sudheer M. Hegde, who was then Police Inspector of Sringeri, investigated the case and filed the charge sheet. The matter was heard for nearly six years. B.S. Mamatha, who represented the prosecution in court, told The Hindu: “The court has sentenced four people to life imprisonment besides imposing a penalty of ₹ 5 lakh each. The total amount of ₹20 lakh will be given to the victim as compensation”.
