Mumbai Gang Rape Case

Two boys allegedly raped their 13-year-old classmate inside the classroom of their civic-run school in Mumbai, after which the police registered a case against them, an official said today.

Bombay High Court today commuted to life imprisonment the death penalty awarded to 3 convicts in the 2013 gang-rape case of a 22-year-old photojournalist inside the defunct Shakti Mills compound in central Mumbai.

All 33 people accused of allegedly gang-raping a 15-year-old girl multiple times and at several spots near Mumbai for nearly nine months have been arrested, the police said today.

The Special Investigation Team or SIT of the Thane Police has arrested two more accused from Navi Mumbai in connection with the gang-rape of a 15-year-old girl, an official said on Friday.

Over 30 people have been accused of gang-raping a 15-year-old girl multiple times over a period of nine months near Mumbai, in a case that has left Maharashtra shaken to the core. The girl has named 33 attackers, of which 24 have been arrested.

The family of a young woman who died last month after her torture and alleged gang rape at a village in Uttar Pradesh's Hathras has asked for the case to be moved out of the state. According to the family's lawyer, this was among the three demands placed before the Allahabad High Court, which heard the case on Monday.

Public prosecutor in the Shakti Mills gang rape case today criticised Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Mulayam Singh Yadav for his rape remark saying that such statements would provoke criminals to commit serious crimes.

The Bombay High Court today raised questions about legal validity of the trial court's decision to frame an additional charge against the accused in the Shakti Mills gang-rape case involving a woman photojournalist after the accused were convicted.

A Mumbai court on Tuesday adjourned hearing in the photojournalist gang rape case till Wednesday after the defence lawyer decided to move Bombay High Court, challenging the enhanced charges against three common convicts for repeat offences.

A sessions court will on March 20 pronounce its verdict in two gang rape cases involving a photojournalist and telephone operator in separate incidents in the defunct Shakti Mills premises in Central Mumbai last year.

When a teen girl in Mumbai went to a police station with her relative to disclose that she had been gang-raped, she was allegedly dismissed because she said she knew some of her attackers and had agreed to let them escort her home.

The Mumbai Police is expected to file a charge sheet on Thursday against five people accused of gang-raping a photojournalist in the heart of the city.

As investigations into the gang rape of the 22-year-old photojournalist continues, another woman has come forward alleging that the same men raped her at Shakti Mills after tying up her boyfriend with a dupatta and threatening them of dire consequences.

The Mumbai Crime Branch, which is investigating Thursday's gang rape at Mahalaxmi's Shakti Mills compound, said yesterday that the five accused had in the past six months raped two other women and molested another on the same abandoned premises.
