Two juvenile accused in the Shakti Mills gang rapes case have been found guilty. Both are found guilty of raping the telephone operator and a journalist. They have been sent to a correctional facility in Nashik, called the Borstal School, for three years. They are expected to "learn good behavior," here, said Special Public Prosecutor Ujjwal Nika.

The two gang rapes in Mumbai involving two women -- a telephone operator and a photojournalist -- took place within a few weeks at the Shakti Mills compound in Central Mumbai last year, shocking the metropolis.

The 18-year-old telephone operator was gang-raped in the deserted premises in July last year while the 22-year-old photojournalist was brutalised on August 22, 2013.

The scribe was raped by Vijay Jadhav, Kasim Bengali, Salim Ansari, Siraj Rehman and a minor boy when she had gone to the desolate mill compound with a male colleague on an assignment.

While the three common convicts were awarded death penalty, Siraj was sentenced to life term in the photojournalist case.
