New Delhi, Aug 22 (IBNS): Two of the three accused in the 2009 Jigisha Ghosh murder case were handed a death sentence by a Delhi court on Monday while a third accused got a life term in jail, according to media reports.
Jigisha Ghosh, 28, an IT executive, was kidnapped and killed after her office cab dropped her near her home in Vasant Vihar in south Delhi.
Her body was found three days later near Surajkund in Haryana.
Ravi Kapoor, Baljeet and Amit Shukla were found guilty of killing her and using her debit card for a shopping spree at a popular market in the capital. They were caught on CCTV cameras buying watches, shoes and sunglasses without any apparent remorse, reported NDTV.
Ravi Kapoor and Amit Shukla have been sentenced to death.
On July 14, while pronouncing a guilty verdict, the court said it was "abundantly clear" that the three men had killed Jigisha, reported the media.
The media, quoting police sources, said that the three guilty in the Jigisha Ghosh murder are accused of murdering television journalist Soumya Vishwanathan in 2008.
