Life term for 7 cops in Uttarakhand fake encounter case

However, the family of the victim, which was present in the court, expressed unhappiness over the verdict and said they will appeal against it in the higher court.  

The victim's mother, who was seen crying, said, “I want death for all the policemen who killed my younger son.” Meanwhile, the wife of one of the convicts, Santosh Kumar Jaiswal, broke down in the courtroom, saying, “Where will we go? He (Santosh) is the only earning member in the family.”

The court, which had convicted policeman Jaspal Singh Gosain for the offence of a public servant framing incorrect record with an intention to save a person from punishment (section 218 IPC), however, awarded him two years imprisonment, which he has already undergone during the trial period.

Gosain, the then head operator at city control room, who was acquitted of all the other charges, was directed to furnish a bail bond of Rs 50,000 and a surety of the like amount.
