India: Life sentences for Delh
Ten policemen in the Indian capital, Delhi, have been given life prison sentences for the murder of two businessmen 10 years ago.
Prosecutors had called for the death penalty. The victims, Pradeep Goyal and Jagjit Singh, were shot dead in their car in broad daylight.
The police involved argued that they mistook them for gangsters.
The police planted a pistol in the car and claimed the occupants had opened fire first.
Criticism
The officers were found guilty last week.
The incident happened in one of Delhi's most famous areas, Connaught Place.
"I am happy with the verdict," Pradeep Goyal's wife Neema said.
But Jagjit Singh's brother said the men should have been given the death sentence. "I want the sentence to be changed".
The case has highlighted criticism of police abuses.
The campaigning lawyer Colin Gonsalves, who runs the Delhi-based Human Rights Law Network, accused the police of being "trigger happy".
"The judiciary over the last 10 years has turned a blind eye to killings by the police mainly because it's poor people who are executed," he told the BBC after the men were found guilty.
