Delhi's Patiala House Court hands out seven year jail terms to convict businessmen Sushil Ansal and Gopal Ansal and others in the case related to tampering with the crucial evidence in the 1997 Uphaar fire tragedy case.
The court also ordered to take them into custody.
The court has imposed a fine of Rs 2.25 crore each against Sushil Ansal and Gopal Ansal in the case.
Last month, the real estate barons were convicted for tampering with evidence in the 1997 Uphaar cinema fire tragedy with the court saying they attacked the very purity and sanctity of the justice system, thereby making it the “victim”.
The court further said the “high handedness” of the accused for securing benefit in the trial by any means demonstrated the scant regard they had for the justice delivery system, which is the bedrock of democracy.
