Mumbai: A Special Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (Mcoca) Court on Wednesday found mafia don Rajendra S Nikhalje, alias Chhota Rajan, guilty of the sensational murder case of journalist J Dey in June 2011.
Co-accused journalist Jigna Vora who was charged with conspiracy has, however, been acquitted by Special Judge Sameer Adkar, Special Public Prosecutor Pradip Gharat said.
There were a total of 11 accused in the case of whom eight, including some sharpshooters, were found guilty.
The verdict came almost seven years after the brutal daylight killing of Dey in a public place in suburban Mumbai.
