Life Imprisonment for Three in Ranchi Land Dealership Murder Case

In Ranchi, Jharkhand, three individuals have been sentenced to life imprisonment in the high-profile murder case of land dealer Kamal Bhushan, who was gunned down on May 30, 2022, in the Sukhdev Nagar police station area. The incident occurred on Devi Mandap Road, where Bhushan was fatally shot. The court also imposed a fine on the convicted individuals, who include W. Kujur, Bhushan’s former business partner, his son Rahul Kujur, and Kavis Adnan. The court of Additional Judge Anand Prakash of the Ranchi Civil Court found the three accused guilty and imposed the life sentence. Each of them was also fined ₹15,000. Failure to pay the fine will result in an additional six months of imprisonment. Two other accused, Sushila Kujur and the government witness Munwar Afaq, were acquitted due to lack of evidence. The murder took place near the busy Piska More Chowk, as Bhushan was about to get into his car after meeting with his lawyer. The strained relationship between Bhushan and the Kujur family stemmed from the love marriage of his daughter Yamini to Rahul Kujur, W. Kujur’s son, which Bhushan disapproved of.
