Dhaula Kuan rape case verdict today

New Delhi, Dec 8 : A city court has deferred the verdict in the Dhaula Kuan rape case to Tuesday, December 8.

Additional Sessions Judge N K Gupta deferred pronouncement of the verdict in the case in which a Delhi University student was allegedly abducted from Dhaula Kuan area of the National Capital and gangraped in a moving car in 2005.

According to the prosecution, the 20-year-old student, hailing from Mizoram, was abducted around 2.15 am on May 8, 2005, from Dhaula Kuan when she was walking back home after buying food from a roadside eatery and was raped by the four accused in a moving car.

The victim, who was later dumped near a gurudwara in South Delhi, was accompanied by a friend who, however, managed to flee from the clutches of the accused.

Delhi Police could arrest only one of the accused — Ajit Singh Katiyar.

The other accused — Danda, Jat and Tappe — have managed to evade arrest.
