Additional Sessions Judge Virender Bhat awarded 30 years jail term to Delhi residents Raj Kumar and Dinesh Sharma along with a fine of Rs 50,000 each, saying the "two convicts were on the prowl like a hungry wolf and their eyes shone brightly on seeing the prosecutrix, a lonely foreign national, on road at a late hour of the day."
The court said the manner in which the two convicts committed the crime shows that they are "ferocious criminals with no concern for respect and dignity of a woman."
"They were roaming about in their car searching for a lonely lady on the road, whom they can overpower, abduct and then satiate their sexual lust," it said, adding they immediately swung into action by dragging her inside their car and took her to the house of convict's sister where they raped her and then dumped her early in the morning.
