The case, which drew widespread attention, involved a string of violent incidents that left several individuals injured.
According to court documents, Chawla was charged with multiple counts, including assault with a deadly weapon, conspiracy to commit violent crimes, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Following a lengthy trial, a federal jury delivered a guilty verdict, finding Chawla responsible for the violent crimes committed. The trial, which lasted several weeks, saw numerous witnesses take the stand to testify against Chawla.
While the exact sentence has not been disclosed, it is likely that Chawla will face a significant prison term. Federal sentencing guidelines typically mandate lengthy prison sentences for individuals found guilty of violent crimes, particularly those involving the use of firearms.
