Melbourne: A court in Australia has sentenced Punjabi youth Rajwinder Singh to 25 years in prison for murdering an Australian woman, bringing an end to a case that involved an international manhunt and extradition.
Rajwinder Singh, a resident of Moga in Punjab, fled to India after committing the crime. He evaded authorities for months until Delhi Police arrested him following a lookout notice and intelligence inputs. After completing the legal procedures, he was handed over to Australian authorities to stand trial.
The court delivered the sentence on Thursday, holding him guilty of the brutal killing and calling the act a serious breach of law that demanded strong punishment. Singh will serve the full term in an Australian prison, with the ruling marking one of the most high-profile extradition cases involving an Indian national in recent years.
