After 15 years, Delhi's Saket Court has convicted all five accused—Ravi Kapoor, Amit Shukla, Ajay Kumar, Baljeet Malik, and Ajay Sethi—in the 2008 murder case of journalist Soumya Vishwanathan. She was shot dead in her car while returning home from work. The breakthrough came when two of the accused were arrested in connection with another case, leading to their confession. The conviction, welcomed by Vishwanathan's family, not only brings closure but also serves as a deterrent against such crimes, emphasizing the persistence of justice even after prolonged delays.
