Sentencing in photojournalist gang-rape likely today
March 24, 2014
A Mumbai court today is likely to sentence three men convicted last
week for gang-raping a 23-year-old photojournalist at the defunct
Shakti Mills in the heart of Mumbai in August last year.
The
trio, Mohammed Salim Ansari, Vijay Mohan Jadhav and Mohammad Qasim
Hafiz Shaikh alias Kasim Bengali, were also convicted for gang-raping an
18-year-old telephone operator at the deserted mill last year and were
sentenced to life in prison on Friday.
While the fourth
accused, Siraj Rehmat Khan, will learn his fate today, the fifth, a
minor, is being tried separately by the Mumbai Juvenile Justice Board
which will begin hearing the case next month.
