New Delhi, October 19(Press Ki Taquat)
A hand tattoo, a wireless set stolen from a policeman and CCTV footage helped Delhi Police crack the case of killing of IT professional Jigisha Ghosh and it eventually led the investigators to the killers of TV journalist Soumya Vishwanathan, officials said on Wednesday.
Ravi Kapoor, Amit Shukla and Baljeet Malik, who were arrested for murdering Ghosh in 2009, later confessed to their involvement in Vishwanathan’s murder in 2008.
Malik had his name inked on his hand while Kapoor used to a carry a wireless set which he had snatched from a police officer.
“They revealed that they abducted Jigisha from near her house in Vasant Vihar and later killed and dumped her body after looting her. They also did shopping using her debit cards,” Verma said.
Verma was leading a team of officials from Vasant Vihar police station.
First they tried to waylay her, and when she did not stop her car, Kapoor opened fire at Vishwanathan’s vehicle. The bullet hit her in the temple leaving her dead on the spot.
Vishwanathan’s car stopped after ramming into a divider.
“All the accused fled from the spot but 20 minutes later returned to see her condition. When they saw police personnel, they ran away,” the officer said.
