MUMBAI: A sessions court on Monday convicted a man of killing his wife in 2013 and sentenced him to life imprisonment.
The accused, Salman Shaikh, was found guilty of murdering and disposing of the body of his wife, Parvin. His mother and one other accused were acquitted.
The police said a complaint was filed against the Chunabhatti resident by his mother-in-law.
