A special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court last Monday convicted Mantu Kumar, Udai Kumar and Pinku Ravidas for the crime.

Dubey, a 31-year-old graduate of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), was working with the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and posted with the Golden Quadrilateral, a pet project of then prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

He was murdered in Gaya district Nov 27, 2003, after he wrote to the Prime Minister's Office detailing corrupt practices rampant in the project, and a nexus among corrupt officials, politicians and contractors.
