NAVIN JAIN SENTENCED TO LIFE IN JAIL FOR MURDERING WIFE Mumbai, August 2 The Sewree fast-track court sentenced Navin Jain to life imprisonment for harassing and murdering his wife. Judge Kulkarni convicted Navin Jain (29) of dowry harassment and murdering his wife Mamta Jain (23). Though Navin's family members - father Gautamlal Jain, mother Himatdevi Jain and brothers Jitendra Jain and Mukesh Jain – were also accused of harassing her, they were acquitted after the prosecution failed to prove its case against them. The court observed that the victim was subjected to ordeal only at her husband's hands and role of others is not clear.
Mamta and Navin were married on June 23, 2005 and gold and silver ornaments worth Rs 20 lakh were given to the groom's family as dowry. According to the police, 10 days after the marriage, Navin and his mother Himatdevi allegedly started harassing Mamta and demanded more dowry from her. Prosecution told the court that though Mamta had made several complaints to her family, they were never allowed to register a complaint with the police as she was threatened by her in-laws. However, on May 10, 2006, Mamta's mother received a call from a neighbour saying that Mamta had committed suicide by hanging herself. Suspecting a foul play, Mamta's parents registered a complaint with the police. Following this, all the five accused were taken into police custody. The police examined as many as 20 witnesses including neighbors and victim's parents. The court, after hearing the case, sentenced Navin to life imprisonment.
