    Krishnanagar (WB), Aug 12 (PTI) A court here in West Bengal's Nadia district on Tuesday sentenced four persons to life imprisonment for pushing a man to death under the wheels of a train following an altercation.
    The four persons were found guilty of pushing Nazimuddin Seikh (22) of Shaktipur in Murshidabad district on December 13, 2021, when he was returning home on holiday from his workplace in Bengaluru, to death.
    Krishnangar Sessions court Judge Basant Sharma sentenced all four - Naren Ghosh, Biru Ghosh, Sudip Ghosh and Bapan Ghosh to life imprisonment and a fine of Rs 20,000 each.
    Additional public prosecutor Arnab Ganguly said that Nazimuddin and his friends got involved in an altercation with the accused persons during the train journey over some missing vegetables of a vendor.
