    Danish woman gang-rape: HC upholds life term till convicts' death
    Credits:
  • The Delhi High Court today upheld the sentence of life imprisonment till death given to five convicts for gang raping a 52-year-old Danish woman in Delhi in 2014.

    A bench of Justices S Muralidhar and IS Mehta said the testimony of the victim and the DNA report, which was a clinching piece of evidence, have nailed the guilt of the convicts.

    Here's more.

    Court is satisfied with trial court's conclusion; hence appeals dismissed

  • The high court dismissed the appeal of the convicts challenging their conviction and jail term awarded by a trial court in 2016.

    "In view of the victim's evidence, corroborated by the DNA report, this court is satisfied that the conclusion of the trial court on the guilt of the accused is correct. Accordingly, the appeals are dismissed," the bench said.

  • Life imprisonment

    Trial court awarded life imprisonment to five rapists in 2016

  • The High Court, however, pulled up the investigating officer of the case for not conducting a proper investigation.

    The trial court had on June 10, 2016, awarded life imprisonment till death to the five rapists, saying their "inhuman" and "brutal" acts of the abduction and gangrape in 2014 had put a stigma on the reputation of the nation.
