A Kolkata court is likely to pronounce the quantum of punishment today for six of the accused guilty of gangraping and murdering a woman at Kamduni village in West Bengal's North 24 Parganas district.

The court had yesterday found six out of the eight accused guilty in the gang-rape case out of which two accused were let off due to lack of evidence.

On June 7, 2013, a B.A. second year student was allegedly gang-raped and murdered by few local miscreants inside an isolated compound at Kamduni village, while she was returning home from her college. Her body was found the next day.

Nine were arrested in connection with this case. Gopal Naskar, one of the arrested persons, died of fever and septicaemia in custody on August 1 last year while the other eight are in judicial custody.
