    Jigisha Ghosh Murder
  • In 2009, 28 year old Jigisha Ghosh, an IT professional was dropped near her apartment by an office cab at 4 am.

    She was abducted by three men from outside her Vasant Vihar residence in Delhi and her jewellery, phones and bank cards were stolen.

    How it all unfolded

    How it all unfolded
  • Jigisha's abductors threw one of her mobile phones in a moving truck and the other on the road to confuse investigators.

    However, they were arrested within a week when they used Jigisha's cards to shop for expensive sunglasses and watches in a popular Delhi market.

    CCTV footage helped the cops to identify the trio who were shopping without "any apparent remorse".

    Disgust from all quarters

    Disgust from all quarters
  • The Delhi Police demanded the death penalty for the trio as the crime was committed "solely for pleasure".

    While sentencing the accused to death, Sessions Judge observed that this murder fell in the "rarest of the rare category" as the victim was killed in cold blood.

    Jigisha's mother was happy as she wanted a strong message to be sent to violent criminals.
