Mangalore Today News Network

New Delhi, Aug 22, 2016: A Delhi court sentenced two men to death and one to life in jail on Monday for murdering IT professional Jigisha Ghosh, whose abduction outside her south Delhi home and subsequent killing rocked the Capital seven years ago.

The 28-year-old Ghosh had left her office in Noida but did not return home, though her office cab had dropped her outside her apartment block. Ghosh was an operations manager with Hewitt Associate Pvt Ltd at its Noida office.

The three men robbed her of her gold jewellery, two mobile phones, and debit and credit cards on March 18, 2009. Her body was found near Surajkund in Haryana, about 20km from her Vasant Vihar home.

The trio — Ravi Kapoor, Amit Shukla and Baljit Singh Malik — was arrested within a week, as police followed digital footprints after the suspects used Jigisha’s ATM cards to buy expensive goggles, wristwatches and shoes at Sarojini Nagar Market in southern Delhi.
