Mumbai: âFatkaâ thief gets two years RI for stealing mobile phone
A 24-year-old youth was on Monday sentenced by a sessions court to two-years rigorous imprisonment after he had already spent more than that duration in prison as an undertrial for stealing a mobile phone from a local train commuter by âfatkaâ.
Mohd. Sajid Shaikh, a footpath dweller in Bandra was arrested on November 18, 2018 after the incident and had since been in jail. He will get a set-off for the period spent in custody as per the courtâs order. Seeking leniency in his sentencing, his advocate told the court that he is poor and could not even seek bail and had already spent over two years in custody.
