The court was earlier expected to pronounce the verdict in case that shocked Mumbai five years back today.


Keenan (24) and Reuben (29) were stabbed after a scuffle near a shop in suburban Andheri on October 20, 2011. The duo was attacked, leading to their death, when they tried to protect their female friends from the group of eve-teasers.

Police had later arrested Jitendra Rana, Sunil Bodh, Satish Dulhaj and Dipak Tival for the murder. Following a public outcry, the case was later transferred to the fast track court in Sewri.

A local court framed charges against four accused in October 2012 for murder, conspiracy and molestation.
