US EditionJustice Prevails: Amit Jogi Convicted in Ramavatar Jaggi Murder Case
The court overturned his acquittal and ordered him to surrender within three weeks after finding him guilty in the 2003 killing.
- On Thursday, the Chhattisgarh High Court convicted Amit Jogi, son of former Chief Minister Ajit Jogi, in the 2003 murder of Nationalist Congress Party leader Ramavatar Jaggi.
- Jaggi was shot dead in Raipur in June 2003 while the former Chief Minister served, prompting the Central Bureau of Investigation to charge 31 individuals with conspiracy.
- Although a 2007 trial court convicted 28 persons, it acquitted Jogi; the High Court overturned this ruling after the Supreme Court directed a review of the case on merit.
- Ordered to surrender within three weeks, Jogi alleged a "grave injustice," claiming the court accepted the CBI's appeal in just 40 minutes without granting him a hearing.
- Satish Jaggi, the son of the slain leader, welcomed the verdict as "divine justice," while Jogi vowed to challenge the conviction in the Supreme Court.
