The prosecution argued that the victim's side does not have any enmity against the accused and only seek justice. They had also requested the court not to give death sentence to the convicts.
A local court in Uttar Pradesh's Hapur on Tuesday convicted all 10 people accused in the 2018 mob lynching case and sentenced them to life imprisonment.
The court of Additional District Judge (POCSO) Shweta Dixit, after hearing both the parties, convicted 10 people of killing 45-year-old Qasim and assaulting Samaydeen (62) on a false rumour of cow slaughter.
