JOIN USA Delhi court on Thursday convicted three men for abducting and murdering IT professional Jigisha Ghosh in 2009. The quantum of sentence will be announced on August 20.
Jigisha’s parents Jagannath and Savita told DH that they were happy to finally conclude their seven-year journey for justice during which they were also threatened and pressured for compromise.
Saket Court’s Additional Sessions Judge Sandeep Yadav said it was “abundantly clear” that Amit Kumar Shukla, Baljeet Malik and Ravi Kapoor had killed the 28 year old.
They have been held guilty for murder, abduction, robbery and forgery. The three men are also accused of killing journalist Soumya Vishwanathan in 2008.
Jigisha, who worked with a management consulting firm, was abducted at gunpoint after she was dropped by her office cab near her Vasant Vihar house in March 2009.
She was forced into a Hyundai Santro and forced to reveal her ATM pin. Three days later, her body was found in Haryana’s Faridabad district.
