The Patiala House court on Monday sentenced Romesh Sharma — the alleged frontman of Dawood Ibrahim — and five others to life imprisonment in the Kunjum Budhiraja murder case.
The court has also slapped a fine of Rs 50,000 on Romesh Sharma, failing which Romesh will have to serve extra six months in jail.
On February 15, the court had convicted ex-Congress leader Romesh for murdering his girlfriend Kunjum, a fashion designer, nine years ago.
Romesh was accused of plotting the murder. Others held guilty for the murder of the 29-year-old fashion designer include Romesh's nephew Surinder Mishra, Tejinder Virdi alias Dolly and Hemchand.
Budhiraja had been stabbed to death on March 20, 1999, by a group of hired gangsters from Uttar Pradesh. According to the prosecution, the murder was carried out at the instance of Surinder Mishra, a co-accused and nephew of Romesh
