Hyderabad/UNI: A local court here on Tuesday convicted a 30-year-old teacher of a private school here for killing a woman colleague by setting her ablaze in March 2015, an official statement said here.

The court found Challa Shiva Prasad guilty and sentenced him to life imprisonment.

The court also imposed a fine of Rs 2,000 on him, the statement further said.
