After an agonising wait for seven years, parents of the 28-year-old IT professional Jigisha Ghosh have made tryst with justice. A Delhi court on Thursday held three accused guilty of killing her in the Capital in 2009. Additional Sessions Judge Sandeep Yadav held Amit Shukla, Baljeet Malik and Ravi Kapoor guilty of murdering her.
“It is abundantly clear from evidence that they committed the crime. There is no missing link of crime [and] hence innocence is ruled out. It is proved on record that Jigisha did not return home on expected time on the day of the incident,” the court said.
The court fixed August 20 as the date for hearing arguments on the quantum of sentence.
Jigisha, an operations manger at Hewitt Associate Pvt. Limited, was abducted and killed in March 2009 after she was dropped at her home in Vasant Vihar by her office cab.
The trial began in 2010. The police recovered the body in Haryana.
