A local court here has sentenced six persons to 10 years of imprisonment for abducting and gangraping a girl in an year-old case.
Additional Session Judge Panakj Tomar yesterday sentenced the six accused to ten years of imprisonment each, on charges of abducting the girl, gangraping and threatening her.
The court has also ordered all the accused to pay a fine of Rs 50,000 each and directed half of the fine amount to be given to the victim.
The victim, a resident of Vardhman in West Bengal used to work in a hotel in Lucknow where her colleague Atul Trivedi lured her to accompany him to Dehradun on pretext of getting a better job.
Atul took her to his friend Sonu's place where they held her hostage for 15 days and along with their four other friends, Mohammad, Muntjir Ali, Deepak Chaudhary and Javed Ali gangraped her.
The victim somehow managed to call the police control room following which the police arrested the accused and rescued her by conducting a raid.
