Double murder case: CBI court to give judgment on February 16
Panchkula, February 9
The special court of CBI judge Rajeev Goyal today adjourned the pronouncement of judgment in a double murder case of Chautala village against eight accused to February 16. The trial had begun in April 2021.
On the night of January 11, 2017, Ranbir Singh, along with his nephew Satbir, had gone to a kinnow plantation of Godara, a co-villager, in connection with the sale of the fruit from their 3-acre farm.
Later, assailants barged into the office and killed Amit Saharan and Satbir, while Ranbir Singh claimed that he hid under the table and escaped. The police had collected 28 empty cartridges and nine bullets from the crime site.
The CBI had registered a case after the Punjab and Haryana High Court issued an order on September 18, 2018, upon submission of an application for transfer of the case by Amit’s widow. The CBI filed the chargesheet on December 15, 2020.
