Prosecutors had demanded the death sentence.
The trial has garnered attention in India where there has been a growing number of cases of police killing unarmed suspects or innocent people, or faking shootouts, in a bid to earn promotions and rewards.
Critics say the killings are consequences of a poorly trained and corrupt police force, that is in collusion with dirty politicians.
