The Bengaluru district court on Monday convicted a man and his son for stabbing a 34-year-old police sub inspector to death while he was chasing them in October 2015.
While the court sentenced Madhu to seven years imprisonment and fined him ₹1 lakh, his father Harish Babu was sentenced to life term imprisonment and a fine of ₹3 lakh.
Jagdish, along with two other constables, based on a tip-off, was on the pursuit of the duo when they accused attacked him. Before Jagadish could react, the duo pushed him in a drain during a scuffle and stabbed him repeatedly before fleeing the spot after snatching his pistol.
