2010 Dhaula Kuan gangrape case: Five convicts gets life term

Five men, convicted in the sensational 2010 Dhaula Kuan gangrape case of a BPO woman executive from north-east, were today given life imprisonment by a Delhi court which said they were "psychopaths" who should be kept away from the society as long as possible.
Additional Sessions Judge (ASJ) Virender Bhat said that the offence demonstrates that the five married men having children, "were on the prowl, looking for a prey to satiate their sexual lust."
Terming the crime committed by the convicts as intensely "grave," "serious" and "odious" in nature, the judge said that the "rape victim has to live with the scar of rape throughout her whole life and incident of rape shatters her life as well as her dreams in a violent manner".

"Rape is a serious blow to the honour, dignity and womanhood of the victim and besides causing immense trauma to her, it has an everlasting impact upon her mind as well as soul," the judge said while awarding the maximum sentence and imposing a fine of Rs 50,000 on each of them.
The court handed down the sentence to Usman alias Kale, Shamshad alias Khutkan, Shahid alias Chhota Billi, Iqbal alias Bada Billi and Kamruddin alias Mobile, all residents of Mewat region in Haryana.
Making hard hitting remarks to justify the punishment, the court said, "It appears that the convicts were wandering upon the Delhi roads like beasts looking for their target of attack. It has come on record that all the convicts were married at that time, having children and still they were roaming on the roads in Delhi in search of a soft target to satisfy their sexual lust."

"The fact that the convicts abducted the prosecutrix in a jiffy after she along with her friend had been dropped by the office cab demonstrate that the convicts were on the prowl looking for a prey to satiate their sexual lust," it said.
