PATNA: The additional district and sessions judge-1, Patna, Ram Pravesh Sharma, on Friday awarded capital punishment to a dairy owner of Bakri Market near Patna Junction, Sanaullah Khan, in connection with a triple murder case.
The court held that the convict, Sanaullah Khan, should be hanged till death. The charge against Sanaullah Khan was that he had strangulated a milk vendor, Ravindra, and slit throats of Ravindra's son Sunny and his own servant Arvind with a chopper on December 16, 2002 at his dairy shop in Bakri Market under the Kotwali police station.
The prosecution case is that the bodies of the three victims were recovered from the dairy of Sanaullah Khan on December 16, 2002 following which Sanaullah was arrested by the police three days later on December 19.Sanaullah had even confessed to the crime.
After convicting him in the case, the court awarded capital punishment to Sanaullah on circumstantial evidence, which, according to the court, was linked to his (Sanaullah's) direct involvement in the killing.

The prosecution added that on an altercation over the supply of quality of milk from Sanaullah's dairy to the tea vending shop of Ravindra near Patna GPO, Sanaullah strangulated Ravindra at his dairy shop and hid his body in a room containing husk.
When Ravindra's son Sunny came to Sanaullah's place to inquire about his father's whereabouts, he saw that his father's body lay strangled with a muffler.
On seeing Sunny, Sanaullah hit him with a large chopper which slit his neck. When Sanaullah sensed that his servant Arvind was an eyewitness to his two crimes, he slit his throat as well with the same chopper and hid the three bodies in the same room.
