A Delhi court on Thursday held three people guilty of killing IT professional Jigisha Ghosh in the Capital in 2009.
Additional Sessions Judge Sandeep Yadav held Amit Shukla, Baljeet Malik and Ravi Kapoor guilty of the crime.
Sentencing will take place on August 20, 2016. Jigisha, an operations manger at Hewitt Associate, was abducted and killed in March 2009 after she was dropped at her home in Vasant Vihar by her office cab.
The court had earlier this month reserved the judgement on conclusion of arguments by the Special Public Prosecutor, Rajiv Mohan, and counsel for the accused persons. The prosecutor submitted that there was sufficient evidence on record against the accused persons.
Counsel for the accused countered the argument submitting that it had not been able to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt as there was no evidence to connect the accused with the crime.
The trial in the case began in 2010 with the examination of the father of the victim as a prosecution witness.
The Delhi Police had claimed that robbery was the motive of the murder. The police had recovered the body near Surajkund in Haryana.
