4 Accused Convicted in Nido Tania Murder Case

New Delhi, September 6, 2019:

A Delhi Court has finally convicted four accused in the Arunachalee youth, Nido Tania's murder case, after five years of tough legal battles.

Nido Tania (20), a first-year student at Lovely Professional University was brutally beaten up by some miscreants in Lajpat Nagar area of New Delhi in 2014 and finally succumbed to his injuries. The four accused are Farman, Pawan, Sunder, and Sunny Uppal.

The court of Sandeep Yadav, Additional Sessions Judge-2 of the southeast district Saket court in New Delhi, in its judgment convicted these four accused under Section 304, Part 1/34, of the IPC.

Accused Farman was sentenced to 10 years’ simple imprisonment along with a fine of Rs 20,000. Accused Pawan and Sunder were sentenced to seven years’ simple imprisonment with a fine of Rs 20,000 each. The court sentenced Uppal to three years in jail and fined him Rs 20,000, in an ‘order of sentence’ announced in the open court.

However, an application has been filed by accused Sunny Uppal under Section 389 CrPC for suspension of sentence and for grant of bail. But the requests were denied. He will move to upper court.

Tania died of severe lung and brain injuries after having being beaten up with iron rods and sticks, following a fight with a shopkeeper.

Activists and students had expressed their anger and outrage over Tania’s death and politicians across parties condemned his death and vowed to work with activists and students from the Northeast to address their recurring concerns of being racially targeted in Delhi and other cities.
