D Sathish was convicted under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 4 of the Tamil Nadu Prohibition of Harassment of Women Act, 1998.

Mahila Court Judge Sridevi said the sentence would be announced on December 30. The case was investigated by the CB-CID, on the orders of then DGP Sylendra Babu.

According to the police, Sathish and S Satya, both resided at the police quarters in Alandur, as Sathish's father was a retired policeman and Satya's mother was a constable.

THE bench directed the home secretary, the Director General of Police (DGP) and the Anna University to file reports on the incident by noon. However, when the court re-assembled for the post-lunch session, the judges said they would take up the matter for hearing after getting the nod of the Chief Justice as the matter had been placed before him.
