The Supreme Court on Thursday said real estate baron Gopal Ansal will undergo one year in jail in connection with the Uphaar fire tragedy which killed 59 people.
Co-accused Sushil Ansal was let off with the sentence he has already undergone citing his old age and ailments. The Ansals co-owned the Uphaar cinema in south Delhi.
