A 23-year-old man, who along with his minor brother, had attacked traffic constable Vilas Shinde with a wooden plank, leading to his death some days later, was on Friday convicted for murder by a court. Additional Sessions Judge K M Jaiswal held Ahmed Qureshi guilty under Section 302 murder of the Indian Penal Code. The quantum of punishment will be announced on Saturday.

His brother, who was 16 at the time of the incident, is being tried separately as an adult, after the Juvenile Justice Board gave its nod for such a trial in November 2016. In August 2016, Shinde, on patrolling duty in Bandra in the metropolis, was attacked near a petrol pump by the siblings after Quereshi was caught riding a two-wheeler without a helmet.
