The judge also directed the District Legal Services Authority to pay compensation to the kin of the deceased.

"During the hearing in the court, two hospital staff retracted their statements. Sixteen witnesses in the case, including the police, the members of the forensic team, and the doctors who conducted the post mortem, gave their testimony in court," Public Prosecutor Anurag Hooda said.

"The court convicted the accused on the basis of CCTV footage, forensic report and blood sample report," he said.

According to the police file, Jugal Kishore, the deceased, was a resident of Bulandshahr, and Naufil Anwar, the accused, was a resident of Firozabad in Uttar Pradesh.

Both worked as security guards at Sheetla Hospital on New Railway Road.

On April 5, 2019 Jugal Kishore was deployed on the third floor of the hospital and Naufil Anwar was posted at the main gate.

Around 5.15 am, Naufil Anwar left the hospital. He returned after some time, went to the third floor, and stabbed Jugal Kishore several times with a knife. He fled the scene immediately after the killing.

The incident was captured in the CCTV cameras installed in the hospital.

A case was registered at the New Colony Police Station.

During investigation, police nabbed Anwar and recovered the knife used in the murder from his possession.
