New Delhi: A Sharjah court has sentenced 17 Indians to death for killing a Pakistani national and injuring three others in January 2009.
Media reports from Sharjah said that the sentence was meted out on the basis of forensic reports and DNA tests as well as the confessional statements of the convicts.
The killing incident had occurred in January 2009, following a turf dispute between members of rival gangs that sell illegal liquor in and around labour camps in the Al-Sajaa area of Sharjah.
While the Police charged 17 people in connection with the murder, many others were let off due to lack of evidence.
