Delhi court sentenced a man for two years in jail for causing death of his newly-wed wife through his negligent act of rash driving of his car, leading to a mishap 13 years ago.<\/p>\n
Additional Sessions Judge Virender Kumar Goyal held Nangloi resident Rajesh Gupta guilty of rashly driving his car leading to the death of 22-year-old Geeta with whom he had got married just a month before the mishap in 1999.<\/p>\n
It also imposed a fine of Rs seven lakh on Gupta, 40, and said if realised, the amount should be given as compensation to Geeta’s parents.<\/p>\n
The court refused to release Gupta on probation saying the victim’s parents have suffered a lot due to the death of their daughter.<\/p>\n
The court, however, acquitted Gupta and his family members of the charges of harassing and cruelly treating the victim for bringing insufficient dowry at the time of their marriage.<\/p>\n
It also said, “Except taunting that too was not directly related to the demand of dowry and only one incident of demand of Rs 10 lakh for purchase of a shop does not amount to demand of dowry in any manner because for this demand, neither Geeta was treated with cruelty nor was harassed in any manner”<\/p>\n
According to prosecution, the accident occurred on August 15, 1999 night when Gupta, who was on his way to Delhi with Geeta, rammed his car into a stationary tanker on Rohtak Road.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
