Gangster Fahim Khan house attack: 3 get life term after 22 years
A Dhanbad court on 3 October sentenced three men to life imprisonment for the 2004 AK-47 attack on gangster Fahim Khan’s home. District and Sessions Judge Paras Kumar Sinha convicted Shahid Alam, Shahadat Hussain and Tanveer Alam on 28 September and delivered the quantum of sentence on 3 October.
The court also awarded them 7 to 10 years under the Arms Act for separate offences, with all sentences to run concurrently. The attack on 29 January 2004 killed Khan’s bodyguard Vinod Sharma and injured another person. Khan escaped by jumping onto a neighbour’s roof. Legal proceedings will continue.
