Crime Diary 2008: Delhi Journalist Soumya Vishwanathan’s Killers Convicted

New Delhi: A Delhi court on Wednesday convicted four accused in Delhi journalist Saumya Vishwanathan murder case. The fifth accused has been convicted for other offences in the case. All five accused have also been convicted under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA).

Vishwanathan was shot dead on September 30, 2008, on Delhi’s Nelson Mandela Marg while returning home from work in her car.

Five men, Ravi Kapoor, Amit Shukla, Baljeet Malik, Ajay Kumar, and Ajay Sethi, were arrested in connection with the murder and have been in custody since March 2009.

Additional Sessions Judge Ravindra Kumar Pandey of the Saket Court had reserved his judgement on October 13. He had given time for additional arguments or clarifications since both the defence and prosecution completed their arguments earlier this month.

The police had attributed the motive for her killing to robbery and had invoked the stringent MCOCA against the accused.
