Five women land in jail on dacoity charges after a water war
PTI | 08:06 PM,Jun 22,2011The family had an altercation with their neighbour in Sangam Vihar over filling their buckets in 2006 summer from a public water tanker and in a fit of rage they ended up entering into their neighbour's house and creating a ruckus. The neighbour, in turn, accused them of looting various articles and properties from their house and named all the six members of the family as trespassers. They were booked by the police for committing dacoity under section 395 of the Indian Penal Code which entails a sentence up to life imprisonment. The counsel for the convicts sought leniency saying there was no one else in their family to look after their children and a harsher view, taken by the court, would ruin their lives. SKV RAX
