A court in Maharashtra's Thane district sentenced a 42-year-old man accused of stabbing his neighbour to death over a dispute in 2016 to imprisonment for life. The court also acquitted his parents, citing a lack of evidence to establish their role in the crime.

As reported by news agency PTI, additional sessions judge D S Deshmukh on Friday found Mohammed Asgar alias Samar Dilshad Husen Sayyed, guilty of the charges under section 302 (murder) and 504 (intentional insult) of the Indian Penal Code.
