Kendrapara: A court in Odisha’s Kendrapara district sentenced a man to life imprisonment for burning his wife to death a decade back over dowry.
District and Sessions Judge Gopal Chandra Behera found Braja Kishore Das guilty Monday and imposed a fine of Rs 10,000 on him.
The convict had poured kerosene on his wife and set her ablaze in February 2012 at a village under Patkura police station.
The woman was tortured by her husband over dowry-related demands.
The man was found guilty by the court after cross-examination of 11 witnesses.
