Additional Sessions Judge Ravindra Kumar Pandey of the Saket Court had reserved his judgement on October 13. He had given time for additional arguments or clarifications since both the defence and prosecution completed their arguments earlier this month.
The police had attributed the motive for her killing to robbery, and had invoked the stringent Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) against the accused.
