A Patna court sentences Naushad Ahmed (also reported as Ahmed) to two years of imprisonment for pronouncing “triple talaq” instantly, marking what outlets describe as the first conviction under the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act in Patna district. The court also imposes a fine of ₹6,500, with additional imprisonment if the fine is not paid.
One report adds that Ahmed is acquitted of an acid attack charge related to an allegation that he attempted to throw acid on his wife. Other offences are mentioned, but details beyond the anti-talaq conviction are limited across the accounts. Ahmed’s lawyer says the case will be challenged, with an appeal planned in the high court. The coverage focuses on both the sentencing and the procedural outcome of the separate allegations.
All outlets agree on the core outcome: a two-year jail term for instant triple talaq and the imposition of a fine, while at least one also reports an acquittal on the acid-related charge.
