The City Sessions Court yesterday convicted Jahid Ansari (51), a resident of 90 Feet Road in Dharavi, for murdering his son and sentenced him to life imprisonment. Public Prosecutor Jyoti Sawant examined 13 witnesses, including Jahid’s wife.

The case dates back to March 15, 2014, the night on which Jahid and his son Mosin (24) had an argument. Following their quarrel, Mosin left the house and decided to spend the night at a tailor’s shop outside their building. In his statement, the tailor said he went to sleep around 1.30 am as usual. When he woke up in the wee hours for a few minutes, after his sleep was disturbed, he saw Mosin sleeping next to him.
