According to the prosecution, Kumar had used a knife and axe to inflict fatal injuries on the victims and had also engaged in the robbery of valuables and electronic devices. He had absconded after the crime was committed but was eventually arrested.
The trial court, after analysing the evidence and considering the brutality of the crime, found Kumar guilty of the alleged offences and sentenced him to death.
Apart from the offence of murder, Kumar was also separately convicted under Sections 397 (robbery or dacoity with attempt to cause death or grievous hurt), 457 (lurking house-trespass or house-breaking at night), 380 (theft in dwelling house) and Section 461 (dishonestly breaking open receptacle containing property) of the IPC.
