Siti Kaur, who was convicted two years ago of murdering 20-year-old Nupuru Maheshwari at her mother’s home in Dhule, is now facing a separate trial.

The trial’s outcome will be decided at a later stage.

Maheshwari’s case is the first of two sexual assault cases and one murder where the suspect was found to have murdered a woman during the attack.

Kumar was given a five-year jail term in the second murder case, while in the cases of Kaur and Kumar, the accused are still awaiting trial.

Kumar served the maximum sentence of 25 years in the case where Kaur was convicted and now faces the death penalty.
