Additional Sessions Judge Virender Bhat awarded the jail term to Raj Kumar and Dinesh Sharma along with a fine of Rs. 50,000 each. ”Their act has brought India in disrepute in the eyes of the world,” the judge said adding that the manner in which the two convicts committed the crime shows that they were “ferocious criminals with no concern for respect and dignity of a woman.”
The court had earlier convicted both Kumar and Sharma for the offences under sections 365 (kidnapping), 356 (assault for theft), 506 (criminal intimidation) and 376 (D) (gang rape) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), while relying on the statements of victim and rejecting the DNA report which could not prove their guilt.
It said that victim’s statement, if found to be reliable and worthy of credence, requires no corroboration and it may convict the accused on her sole testimony. The Ugandan national woman was kidnapped by the convicts in their car at Janakpuri area on June 18, 2014 at around 11.30 p.m.
