A big update has come out related to the murder of journalist Soumya Viswanathan. Soumya’s mother approached the Supreme Court against the bail granted to the four convicts. Bench of Judge Bella M. Trivedi and Justice Pankaj Mittal are expected to hear the petition filed by Soumya’s mother, Madhavi Viswanathan.
All four convicts were sentenced to life imprisonment
Let us tell you that on September 30, 2008, four convicts related to the Soumya Vishwanathan murder case were sentenced to life imprisonment by the Saket Court of Delhi. While sentencing Ravi Kapoor, Amit Shukla, Baljit Singh Malik and Ajay Kumar to double life imprisonment, the court also imposed a fine of Rs 1.25 lakh on each convict.
The accused received bail from the High Court
In February this year, the Delhi High Court suspended the sentence of the four convicts. At the same time, the four convicts were given bail until the disposal of their appeals challenging their punishment. The Delhi High Court said the four convicts have been in custody for 14 years. During this period, the Supreme Court asked the Delhi Police to respond to the appeals filed by the four convicts.
