Convicts knew what they were doing: Court

The Delhi court which Tuesday convicted four men in the Dec 16, 2012 gang rape case said the destruction of evidence by them showed an "illegal agreement" between them and they knew what they were doing.

Additional Sessions Judge Yogesh Khanna said: "The acts of abducting the victims, robbing, causing injuries and the act of some of the accused in pinning the complainant down while other took their turn in committing rape/unnatural sex and while one of them continued driving the bus, and lastly throwing them (woman and her friend) out of the moving bus, sharing the booty, destroying evidence thoroughly showed an illegal agreement between them to commit such illegal acts and they had knowledge of the same."

"The offence of conspiracy stands established against the accused," the judge said, while convicting them for criminal conspiracy.
