Public Prosecutor Subhash Dessai prayed for a stringent sentence for the accused to deter “such heinous crimes.” The defence asked for leniency as Lalsa had two children to look after. They also requested a set-off for the time Lalsa and Kumar spent in jail.
The duo has been in jail since July 2011. On June 5, 2015, they were convicted of murder by Additional Sessions Judge P V Savaikar.
