Poor Murder Convict Freed After 7 Years By Supreme Court: "Benefit Of Doubt"

The convict, who is from a poor home, was sentenced to a life term for committing robbery and murder in 2015 at a village in Haryana.

A murder convict from a poor home was given the benefit of the doubt and acquitted today by the Supreme Court, which said "most poor people are unable to approach the court". The convict was sentenced to a life term for committing robbery and murder in 2015 at a village in Haryana. The sentence was cancelled today. The Supreme Court also directed the Haryana government to find out whether another convict in the case is still in jail so he could be released too. "They are poor people, why should they remain in custody," the Supreme Court questioned.
