Tinder Date Murder Case: Jaipur Court Sentences 3 To Life Imprisonment

In the Tinder dating app murder case, a court in Jaipur sentenced life imprisonment to three people for killing a 28-year-old businessman, Dushyant Sharma.

As per the reports, one of the three accused Priya Seth connected with Dushyant through a dating application in 2018.

The court awarded all three accused life imprisonment after the charges made under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections 342 (wrongful confinement), 302 (murder), 201 (causing the disappearance of evidence of the offence), and 120-B (criminal conspiracy) being proved following the judicial procedure.

The judgement reads "The adequate evidence presented by the prosecution proved that the accused have committed the crime."

As per the reports, Priya and Dushyant were connected over text and phone calls for a couple of months, after which, they decided to meet at a rented apartment.

Priya's other two allies, Dishkant Kamra and Lakshya Walia, who were already waiting for Dushyant there, held the victim hostage and demanded Rs 10 lakh as ransom from the deceased's family, say reports.

In an interview to journalist Deepika Narayan Bharadwaj, accused Priya had narrated the chilling details of the murder. "When I met Dushyant, he lied to me that he was very rich. We kidnapped him and asked for the ransom. But later, we realized that he didn't have anything," she said.

However, the Sharma's family could only arrange Rs 3 lakh. Priya also seized the businessman's debit card and withdrew Rs 20,000 before stabbing him to death, states the police charge sheet.

Dushyant 's body was later found chopped up into pieces and stuffed in a suitcase.
