The Delhi court on Tuesday convicted all five persons accused in the 2010 Dhaula Kuan gangrape case in which the victim was a BPO executive from north-east.
The accused on November 24, 2010 had abducted the victim while she was walking home with her friend after her shift had ended. They took her to Mongolpuri, gangraped her, and left her on an isolated road there, the police had said in their charge sheet.
The Saket district court will hand out the punishment for the accused on October 17.
"All the accused in the case have been convicted, the quantum of punishment will be pronounced on October 17," said lawyer Abdul Salam.
Earlier, Additional Sessions Judge Virender Bhat had concluded recording of the statements of the witnesses on behalf of accused Shamshad alias Khutkan, Usman alias Kale, Shahid alias Chhota Billi, Iqbal alias Bada Billi and Kamruddin alias Mobile.
"Meanwhile, the victim's friend, the prime witness in the case alerted the police control room about the abduction. The police later arrested the accused from Mewat in Haryana," the charge sheet said.
All the five adult accused facing trial in the case had claimed innocence and said that they were falsely implicated in the case.
They were tried under sections 376(2)(G) (gangrape), 506 (criminal intimidation) and 365 (abduction) of the Indian Penal Code.
Kamruddin, Shahid and Iqbal had refused to undergo test identification parade (TIP) after the victim identified Shamshad and Usman.
During the trial, the police had claimed that the accused have also confessed to their crime.
After his arrest, Kamruddin had purportedly expressed remorse over the act before police, the charge sheet had said.
The case had forced Delhi Police to issue an order under Section 144 of Criminal Procedure Code to all BPOs in Delhi NCR to drop women employees home safely and provide them security.
