Another woman accused Jaspreet Virdi alias Sonu was acquitted for want of evidence.
Budding fashion designer Kunjum was murdered on March 20, 1999. The prosecution alleged that Kunjum was murdered by people engaged by Surinder Mishra at the farmhouse when she visited it on March 20, 1999.
During the investigation, it was allegedly found that Surinder Mishra, Dolly and Sonu wanted to get rid of Kunjum as they felt that while they were taking care of Romesh and attending to his court cases, Romesh was giving away his property to Kunjum. (ANI)
