The Supreme Court on Monday acquitted three persons sentenced to death for the gang-rape and murder of a 19-year-old woman in Delhi’s Chawla area in 2012. The three men are accused of abducting, gang-raping and brutally killing the woman in February 2012. The mutilated body was found three days after the abduction. In 2014, a trial court sentenced the three accused to death, calling the case “rare-rare”.
The Delhi High Court later upheld the verdict.
According to the prosecution, the woman worked in the Cyber City area of Gurgaon and was a resident of Uttarakhand. He was returning from his work and was near his home when three men picked him up in a car.
When she did not return home, her parents filed a missing person’s report, the prosecution said, adding that the woman’s mutilated and decomposing body was found in a village in Haryana’s Rewari. Police found multiple injuries on the woman’s body. Further investigation and autopsy revealed that she was attacked with car tools, glass bottles, metal objects and other weapons. They said that she was also raped.
Police arrested three people in connection with the crime and said the accused allegedly retaliated after a woman rejected his proposal.
