Mumbai: Security guard Sajjad Mughal, who was convicted for killing 25-year-old Mumabi-based lawyer Pallavi Purkayastha, was spared the noose on Monday and sentenced to life imprisonment after a local court observed that the crime did not fall under the ‘rarest of rare’ category.
“Considering the mitigating and aggravating circumstances, I am of the opinion that the case does not fall under the ‘rarest of the rare’ category,” the judge said.
The court also handed over different punishments to Mughal for molestation and criminal trespass.
