A fast track court in Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh, India, has sentenced three individuals—Rizwan, Singol Alvi, and Shalu alias Arbaz—to death for the abduction and murder of lawyer Mohammad Sameer in 2019. The court, presided over by Additional District and Sessions Judge Ravi Kumar Diwakar, imposed a fine of ₹1 lakh (approximately $1,200 USD) on each of the convicted individuals, labeling the case as one of the 'rarest of rare' instances. Co-accused Dinesh received a seven-year prison sentence along with a fine of ₹10,000 (approximately $120 USD) under Section 201 of the Indian Penal Code. The murder stemmed from a monetary dispute involving ₹45 lakh (around $54,000 USD) and occurred in the Ladhawala locality on October 15, 2019. Following the initial missing report filed by Sameer's father, the police registered a case under Section 364 IPC after discovering the body on October 20 in a forest area in Sikri village. The sentences are pending confirmation by the Allahabad High Court.
