Nanda gets five year jail term

Sanjeev Nanda, grandson of former Naval Chief S M Nanda, was on Friday sentenced to five years rigorous imprisonment by a Delhi court for mowing down six persons, including three policemen, with his BMW car in 1999. It sentenced co-convict and businessman Rajeev Gupta to one year rigorous imprisonment for destruction of evidence. His two employees -- Bhola Nath and Shyam Singh -- were however awarded six months' jail terms each for washing off blood stains and pieces of victims' flesh from the offending vehicle after the incident. The court also imposed a fine of Rs 10,000 on Gupta and Rs 100 each on his two employees, who were held guilty under Section 201 (destruction of evidence) of the IPC.
