A Delhi court Friday deferred its verdict in a 2010 abduction and gang rape case in Dhaula Kuan, to Oct 14.
Additional Sessions Judge Virender Bhat deferred the verdict saying the order was not prepared.
Shamshad alias Khutkan, Usman alias Kale, Shahid alias Chhota Billi, Iqbal alias Bada Billi and Kamruddin are being tried for the abduction and gang rape of a 30-year-old call centre executive in Dhaula Kuan area of south Delhi.
According to the police, the five men abducted the woman, who hailed from the northeast, Nov 24, 2010, while she was walking home with a friend after her shift ended.
