Three get life term in Kerala professor’s palm chopping case
KOCHI: A special National Investigation Agency court in Kochi on Thursday awarded life imprisonment to three of the six convicts in a 2010 case wherein a Malayalam professor’s palm was chopped off by members of now-banned Popular Front of India. While 10 were awarded prison terms of eight years each for offences under the stringent Unlawful Activities Prevention Act, Explosive Substances Act and Indian Penal Code, three were found guilty for harbouring the offenders and awarded two-year rigorous imprisonment. “To have uniformity among the accused, imprisonment for life is to be awarded for sec 20 of the UA Act and imprisonment for 10 years is to be awarded for the offence u/s 16 and 18 of the UA Act, sec 307 of IPC and sec 3 of Explosive Substance Act with a further direction to pay a fine of ₹50,000 each,” justice Anil K Bhaskar said in his order on Thursday. The life sentences were awarded to second accused Sajil, third accused MK Nasar and fifth accused Najeeb under sections of the Unlawful Activities Act, Indian Penal Code and The Explosives Act for possessing weapons, conspiracy, damaging vehicle and indulging in terrorist activities, among others.
