The Shakti Mills Compound in Mumbai where two women were gang-raped last year
A court in Mumbai is expected to announce the punishment for five men found guilty of gang-raping a photojournalist and telephone operator in a deserted textile mill in the heart of the city last year, a case that jolted the city's reputation as one of India's safest for women.
The men face 20 years to life in prison.
Three men - Mohammed Kasim Sheikh, Vijay Jadhav and Salim Ansari - were all convicted of both crimes. A fourth man, Siraj Rehman Khan, was found guilty in the photojournalist's gang-rape, and a fifth, Mohammed Ashwaq Sheikh, in the rape of the telephone operator.
A sixth accused was under 18 at the time of the crime and is being tried separately in a juvenile court.
The men, who were unemployed and lived in slums near the Shakti Mills, usually spent time at the abandoned complex, attacked women and threatened them, confident that they would not be caught, the prosecution told the court on Thursday.
The 22-year-old photographer was praised by investigators for sharing a strong statement that helped indict the rapists.
The men, first pretending to help get her permission to shoot, tied up the male journalist with belts and dragged the woman to a dense clutch of shrubbery, where they assaulted her while threatening her with a broken beer bottle, the police said.
After the gang-rape, the men escorted the woman and her colleague to a nearby train station to ensure the couple did not head to the police to report the case.
The woman went straight to a hospital, enabling doctors to collect medical samples that served as crucial evidence.
After the rapists were arrested, the second woman went to the police, saying she recognized these men as those who had raped her about a month before.
The Mumbai gang-rapes caused a fresh wave of outrage after the fatal assault on a young physiotherapy student on a moving bus in Delhi in December, 2012, a case that changed India in many ways, and led to tougher laws on crimes against women.
