| Two others have also received the death sentence. All the defendants say they will appeal.
The dead man was a local official in the state of Bihar.
The court decision comes shortly after several recent incidents of lynching in Bihar, one of the most lawless states in the country.
Gang warfare
This was like so many cases in India - a lengthy legal process.
It was back in 1994 that an angry mob was incited to shoot, stone and beat to death a district magistrate named Krishnaiyah
The attack happened as a crowd was taking part in the funeral of a local politician and mafia leader, who had been killed in gang warfare.
It was a symbol then of the extent of lawlessness in Bihar - and in many parts of the state, not much has changed since.
