Five held guilty of abducting, raping 17-year-old girl in Chandigarh
Five men were held guilty of abducting and gangraping a 17-year-old girl on Friday. The incident took place in September 2015.
The court will decide the quantum of sentence on February 27.
The convicts are Chandrashekar, 18, resident of Railway Colony, Mauli Jagran; Bansi, 35, resident of Manimajra; Surjit Singh, 35, and Shekar Rana, 20, residents of Faidan village; and Sahil Verma, 22, resident of Sector 68, Mohali.
As the judge announced the verdict, the mother of one of the convicts was seen yelling at him outside the court room, saying she will never forgive him.
The victim, a class-12 student, was returning from tuition around 7 pm when four men abducted her in a car on September 11, 2015. They took her to a forest behind Kalagram where they took turns to rape her, before leaving her there and fleeing.
She managed to return home around 11pm, and narrated the incident to her mother, who filed a complaint the next day.
