en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohan_Kumar_(serial_killer)

Contemporary court reporting contradicts the article's "two years" timeline.

• Daijiworld's December 17, 2013 report says Mohan was convicted in Anitha's case "Four years after his arrest".
• The same report states that "The initial questioning in the case had commenced on November 21, 2011 ... and it had continued for about a year." That means the trial activity described there began in late 2011, not immediately upon arrest in 2009.
• The Karnataka High Court judgment in The Registrar General vs Mohan Kumar records that the trial-court conviction/order was dated 17/21.12.2013 in S.C. No. 96 of 2010.

So the article's statement that he was "put on trial for two years" after his 2009 arrest is inaccurate. The arrest-to-conviction gap was about four years, and the trial proceedings referenced in reporting began in November 2011 and continued for about a year before the December 2013 conviction.

The article incorrectly suggests that one Mangalore fast-track court tried and convicted Mohan Kumar in all 20 murder cases.

The record shows a more complicated procedural history:

• A 2018 Times of India report lays out the case timeline: 13 cases were shifted to the fast-track court in January 2011, but all 20 cases were later shifted to the Fourth Additional District and Sessions Court in June 2013.
• That same report says the first three convictions were delivered on December 17–18, 2013, and later cases were handled by the Sixth Additional District and Sessions Court.
• A June 2020 Times of India report states that the 20th and last case was decided by the sixth additional district and sessions court judge Sayeedunnisa.
• A 2013 Daijiworld report likewise identifies the court that convicted him in the early cases as the Fourth Additional District and Sessions Court, not simply a fast-track court that convicted him in all 20 murders.

So the problem is not whether he was eventually convicted in 20 murder cases, but the claim that a single Mangalore fast-track court tried and convicted him for all 20. The convictions came from different courts over multiple years.
