Mon, 06 Apr 2026 12:51:32 GMT
In a landmark verdict that has sent ripples across Chhattisgarh’s political landscape, the High Court has sentenced former MLA Amit Jogi, son of the state’s first Chief Minister, late Ajit Jogi, to life imprisonment and imposed a fine of ₹1,000 in the sensational 2003 murder case of senior NCP leader Ram Avatar Jaggi.
A division bench comprising Chief Justice Ramesh Sinha and Justice Arvind Kumar Verma pronounced the sentence after hearing the CBI’s appeal, a revision petition by the victim’s son Satish Jaggi, and a plea for enhancement of sentence.
The High Court overturned the trial court’s acquittal of Amit Jogi dated May 31, 2007, and held him guilty of criminal conspiracy to murder under Section 120-B of the IPC, along with Sections 302/34 (murder) and 427/34 (mischief) of the Indian Penal Code.

The threats specifically targeted the Gas Turbine Research Establishment (GTRE), claiming that 13 cyanide gas-based Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) had been planted within the premises, as per reports.
The emails, reportedly written in Tamil, warned of a coordinated explosion scheduled for 1.10 pm, prompting authorities to immediately initiate evacuation procedures and intensive search operations. As the reports suggest, bomb disposal squads and local police conducted thorough inspections of the facilities, although no explosives have been found so far.
