A Delhi court convicts Bihar BJP MLA Raju Kumar Singh and sentences him to four years in prison and a fine of ₹25 lakh for his role in a 2018 celebratory firing case. Both reports state that the incident occurred during a New Year event and involved reckless gunfire that resulted in the death of Archana Gupta, a woman who was killed during the celebration.
According to the court’s findings, eyewitness accounts identify Singh as the person who fired the shots. The court treats the offence as culpable homicide, emphasizing that celebratory gunfire creates serious risk to others. The ₹25 lakh fine is imposed as compensation for the victim’s family.
The sentence is described as simple imprisonment for four years with the fine amount specified consistently across outlets. The conviction and sentencing follow the court’s adjudication of evidence presented in the case.
