Raipur, Mar 8 (UNI) A fast-track court today handed down life imprisonment to five people, including four brothers, for gunning down a transporter in May 2006.

Additional District and Sessions Judge Arvind Verma held Abrar Ahmed alias Madari, his brothers Bachchu, Noora and Bafani and Sunil Bhalkar guilty under different sections of the Indian Penal Code.

However, the court acquitted Aslam alias Chacha for want of evidence.

The prosecution charge-sheet named 12 people as accused in the murder of Satwant Singh Gill alias Gappu following business rivalry among transporters. While six of the accused were arrested, six were still absconding.

Special Public Prosecuter T C Pandey argued against the accused who were represented by advocates Hasim Khan, Ashutosh Dubey and others.
