A youth has been been sentenced to 10 years in jail by a Delhi court for gang raping a girl along with his three friends, including two juveniles in 2010.
an additional sessions judge (ASJ) Ravinder Dudeja ordered jail term for Delhi resident Rambir after holding him guilty of raping the 18-year-old girl.
She was raped after being kidnapped from the roadside in east Delhi where she was waiting for her office cab. The court convicted Rambir, rejecting his contention that the girl was friendly with him and lodged a false case of rape against him following some quarrel with one of his friends.
“It is inconceivable that an unmarried girl would go to the extent of staking her reputation and future in order to falsely set up a case of rape on the accused merely on account of a quarrel with his friend.”
“The testimony of prosecutrix is consistent and inspires confidence of the court to believe her version regarding the rape,” the court said.
