Mehta on Thursday reduced the death sentence awarded to convicts Ravi Kapoor and Amit Shukla in the IT professional Jigisha Ghosh murder case to life imprisonment. Jigisha, then 28, was an operations manager with Hewitt Associate Pvt Ltd at its Noida office. The three also took away her gold jewellery, two mobile phones, and debit and credit cards on March 18, 2009.
