A court here on Saturday sentenced a man to life imprisonment for murdering an elderly woman at Kesavadasapuram here.
Additional District and Sessions Judge Anas awarded life imprisonment to Adam Ali, 25, of West Bengal and imposed a fine of ₹90,000 on him.
Earlier in the day, the court found Ali guilty under Indian Penal Code Sections 449 (house trespass), 302 (murder), 393 (attempt to commit robbery), 397 (robbery or dacoity with attempt to cause death) and 201 (causing disappearance of evidence).
A dramatic scene unfolded shortly after the court held him guilty in the case, with Ali attempting to escape by running out of the courtroom.
However, police personnel and lawyers intercepted him within the court premises.
