A sessions court here convicted two persons today for the 2012 murder of budding actor Meenakshi Thapa.
Additional Sessions Judge S G Shette found Amit Jaiswal (36) and his girlfriend, Preeti Surin (26), guilty under IPC sections 302 (murder) and 364-A (kidnapping for ransom).
The quantum of punishment will be pronounced tomorrow.
Special public prosecutor in the case Ujjwal Nikam said, "There was no eyewitness, but I appreciate the job done by the Mumbai Crime Branch, as it was due to their investigation that the chain of events was established. Based on that, we could prove that Jaiswal and Surin had murdered the actor."
