HC rejects murder convict’s plea

Kochi Dec 12 (IANS) The sensational 2017 actress assault case reached a decisive point on Friday as the Ernakulam Principal Sessions Court sentenced all six convicts to 20 years of rigorous imprisonment, ruling that the prosecution had proved charges including kidnapping with intent to commit rape (IPC 366), criminal conspiracy (IPC 120B), and gang rape (IPC 376D).
