The District Court of Mahottari district has sentenced 22-year-old Dharma Bir Singh, his 17-year-old wife Soni Singh, and mother-in-law Anju Devi Singh from Itaharwakatti-6 to life in prison after finding them guilty in the murder of 31-year-old Doctor Raj Kumar Sah who used to operate a clinic in Sarpallo Bajar of the District.
The three had plotted and eventually killed Raj Kumar Sah on November 5, 2013, by attacking him with a sharp weapon in different parts of the body. The victim's dead body was found next day in Unghakhori of Manara VDC-1. They killed him over the accusation of Dharam Bir's wife that the doctor had sexually assaulted her during a medical check-up.
