Vellore Woman Doctor Gang Rape: Juvenile gets 20 years of imprisonment
A 17-year-old convict involved in the 2022 gang rape case of a female doctor was sentenced to 20 years of imprisonment by the POSCO Fast Track Court at the Combined Court Complex in Vellore. This comes after a prior conviction in January, when the Fast Track Mahila Court sentenced four other accused to 20 years of imprisonment each and imposed a fine of Rs. 25,000 on each of them.
Medical dialogues recently reported that the Mahila Court convicted four men for gang-raping a doctor after abducting her in an auto in Katpadi in 2022, sentencing them to 20 years of rigorous imprisonment. The incident had caused political outrage in the state, leading to the opposition parties demanding stringent action on the perpetrators.
