Delhi High Court upholds death for three youths in rape case

Court says that the case fell within the realms of the “rarest of rare” category
New Delhi: Terming them as “trained blood hounds” and “feral beasts”, the Delhi High Court on Tuesday upheld the death sentence of three youths for abducting, gangraping and killing a 17-year-old girl here saying the case fell within the realms of the “rarest of rare” category.
Awarding the capital punishment, the court said, “The sordid facts of the present case reveal that the victim after having been abducted in public gaze and consequently removed from society, was ravished and murdered.”
“The tale of malignity was far from its conclusion as thereafter the sadistic perpetrators grotesquely stamped the breast and the umbilical region of the deceased by using the heated spanner,” it said.
The girl, who was working in Gurgaon’s Cyber City mall, was abducted by the three youths in a car near her house in Qutub Vihar here and was gangraped and murdered by them on February 9 in 2012.
