In a significant ruling, a Delhi court has convicted Shiva Chaudhary for the murder of Mohan, a 12th class student, who was killed during a brawl on January 30, 2023, near Govind Puri Metro station. The Additional Sessions Judge Anuj Agrawal stated that the evidence presented, particularly the testimony of eyewitness Sumit, was sufficient to establish Chaudhary's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Sumit's account was described as detailed and consistent, indicating that Chaudhary received a knife from a co-accused before stabbing Mohan in the chest. The court noted that while some witnesses were partly hostile, their testimonies still supported the prosecution's case. The post-mortem report confirmed that Mohan died from a penetrating stab injury, dismissing any defense claims of false implication.
