A court here on Wednesday fixed January 21 for delivering its verdict in a case of rape of a Danish woman.

Additional Sessions Judge Kaveri Baweja reserved the verdict after the prosecution and the defence counsel concluded their arguments.

Arjun, Raju alias Chhakka, Mohammad Raja, Mahendra alias Ganja, Raju alias Bajji and Shyam Lal have been charged with robbing and raping the Danish woman at knife-point near the New Delhi Railway Station in January 2014 after she sought directions to her hotel in Paharganj.

Three minors -- also allegedly involved in the case -- are facing an inquiry before the Juvenile Justice Board.

Police said all the accused were vagabonds who took the woman to an isolated spot near the Divisional Railway Officers' Club close to the railway station, took away her belongings and then raped her.
