New Delhi : A city court is likely to pronounce its verdict Monday against the lone man arrested in the 2005 Dhaula Kuan rape case, in which a Delhi University female student was allegedly abducted and gang-raped in a moving car.
Additional Sessions Judge N.K. Gupta is expected to pronounce the verdict in the case after hearing the final arguments of the prosecution and the defence.
“The 20-year-old student of DU, hailing from Mizoram, was abducted around 2.15 a.m. May 8, 2005, from Dhaula Kuan when she was walking back home after buying food from a roadside eatery and was raped by four accused in a moving car,” said the prosecution.
The victim, who was later dumped near a gurdwara in south Delhi, was accompanied by a friend who, however, managed to flee from the clutches of the accused.
Police, however, could arrest only one of the accused – Ajit Singh Katiyar. The other three accused – Danda, Jat and Tappe – evaded arrest and were declared proclaimed offenders.
Katiyar, a driver with a Noida-based call centre, was arrested five days after the incident and was later identified by the victim in a test identification parade conducted inside Tihar Jail.
