"On October 1, 2021, the matter was transferred to the court of district judge of Firozabad Harveer Singh (since Sadhupur came under the Makkhanpur police station area)," Upadhyay said.

 

Of the 10 accused, nine died during the trial, he said.

 

"Only 90-year-old Ganga Dayal is alive, who was held guilty by the court of District Judge Harveer Singh on Thursday, and sentenced to life imprisonment. A fine of Rs 55,000 was also imposed on him.
