Patna : A Bihar fast track court Thursday convicted five men for the murder of Papiya Ghosh, a professor in Patna University, and her domestic help in 2006.

The Patna civil court found the five accused, including a lawyer, guilty of Ghosh and her domestic help’s murder, said an official in the court.

The court will sentence them Friday.
