A woman, her boyfriend and two others were Wednesday sentenced to life imprisonment by a court for murdering her fiance within three days of their engagement in 2003.

Fast Track Court Judge Vanti Kodi, who awarded life sentence to all the four, also imposed a fine of Rs.75,000 on the woman, S. Shubha.

Her boyfriend, Arun Verma, was slapped a penalty of Rs.50,000. Another convict Venkatesh was fined Rs. 100,000 and convict Dinakar was slapped a fine of Rs.50,000.

The prosecution case was that Shubha, who was 21-year-old and studying in the final year of a law course in Bangalore in 2003, conspired with her college friend Arun, two years younger to her, to murder B.V. Girish, a software engineer to whom she was engaged.

Girish, then 27, and Shubha were neighbours in Banashankari-II stage in south Bangalore, and had known each other for 15 years.

They were engaged Nov 30, 2003 and Girish was murdered Dec 3, 2003.

The prosecution contended that Shubha and her boyfriend Arun, who hails from Bihar, hatched a plan to kill Girish. They took the help of Arun’s cousin Dinakar and Venkatesh.

On Dec 3, 2003, Shubha and Girish went out for dinner on his two-wheeler and on way back she made him stop at a point between Indiranagar and Koramangala in east Bangalore so that she could see planes landing and taking off from the near by airport.

As Girish and Shubha were watching a plane land, he was attacked with iron rods by Venkatesh who sped away on Arun’s bike along with Dinakar.

Shubha took Girish to a nearby private hospital where he died. She later told police that an unidentified person attacked Girish and fled.

The prosecution relied on calls Shubha made from her cell phone and the smses she had sent to charge her, Arun and the two others with conspiracy to murder Girish.

Police first interrogated Arun who is said to have confessed to the plan to murder Girish. Based on his statement Shuba and the two others were arrested.

  1. CRIME RATES COMES DOWN IF 1% OF PEOPLE START MEDITATING.
    Every court should become a meditation center.
    No crime happens if law is based on psychology, psychoanalysis and meditation.
    THE DEATH PENALTY AND LIFE IMPRISONMENT: NOT PUNISHMENT BUT REVENGE
    The death penalty and life sentence is a degrading proof of man’s inhumanity to man. It shows that man is still living in the barbarous age.
    Changing from the death penalty to a life sentence is going not towards civilization, it is going still deeper into barbarous, inhuman darkness, unconsciousness.
    The first thing to remember is that the death penalty is not really a punishment. If you cannot give life as a reward, you cannot give death as a penalty. This is a simple logic, there cannot be two opinions about it. If you cannot give life to people, what right have you to take their life?
    Mad people need methods of meditation so that they can come out of their madness.
    The criminals need psychological help, spiritual support and not life imprisonment or death penalty..
    Many crimes — murder, rape, even stealing — are hereditary. You need your chemistry to be changed, your hormones to be changed. A few crimes are committed because you have a wrong psychology; you need a good brainwash, and more clarity of vision, meditation and counselling
    and not death penalty or life imprisonment. -OSHO

  2. IMPRISONMENT OR DEATHPENALTY IS NOT THE ANSWER. THE CAUSE OF THE CRIME HAS TO BE FOUND. ALL CRIMINALS NEED COUNSELLING, TREATMENT. SHUBA SHOULD NOT BE IMPRISONED. SHUBA’S ENERGY MIGHT HAVE OR MIGHT NOT HAVE MOVED IN NEGATIVE DIRECTION, BUT BY COUNSELLING AND MEDITATION, HER ENERGY CAN BE EASILY DIVERTED TOWARDS POSITIVE AND CREATIVE DIRECTION.
    SHE SHOULD BE RELEASED IMMIDIATELY.

  3. it is unfortunate we have lot of feedom to the press. ok . i do not think we should pass comments based on police investigationevery one in the country knows that they are the worst people in india and they make any story to make money.they will wait for oppourtunity to fix somebody so that they make the fast buck.they do not have the guts to show poliitician or any rich businessmen.if they give money they try to cover up.f somebody gives a threat they make story and show somebullshit.there are so many incidences where politicians children are involved.if these people have guts let show in the same way like what they doing in other cases.they should try to show
    good things who struggled to get rank 1st in studies.who has suffered so much so with big problems and they are succesful in their life. they show all crap which is very dangerous for
    youngsters which will corrupt their minds.i request the judiciary system to bring some sense into press so that they need not decide who has to do what . if so better they go the press
    people and let them decide all the cases without any expenditure. they make more money in this ,than blackmailing people in the country. i if feel the persons who have investigatied
    should be throughly punished if the court that she is innocent,even they should be sent to jail . there are so many people who are innocent and has beem to jail without any mistake
    . ifeel if the person comes without any mistake , after the jail term the officer who investigates should sent atleast for six months minimum jail, so that they know how torturous it is
    .they should be answrableto somebody if they do mistake.we all know that it their job to investigate.but they should do proper investigation then the take next action.if some police
    people are punished like, that others will be scared to do wrong investigation.they are left scotfree.after the person is acquitted.and they do the same to the next person, and this goes
    on.so please put a stop to this type of things .so that they cannot become powerful. The country is going to dogs and niether politicians nor the officials are botherd .
    when it comes to their children they try to manuplate and cover the story.
    take interest.
