Kolkata : Nearly nine months after her death, the Anglo-Indian woman gang-raped on Kolkata’s Park Street in 2012 finally got justice on Thursday with a court pronouncing guilty all three accused who were on trial in the sensational case. The women — then 40 years old, a divorcee and mother of two — was beaten up and gang-raped at gun-point inside a moving car and then thrown off the vehicle near a city intersection on the night of February 5, 2012, after she had come out of a night club on the fashionable Park Street. Passing the judgment during in-camera proceedings, Additional Sessions Judge Chiranjib Bhatta-charya of the City Sessions Court pronounced Ruman Khan, Naser Khan and Sumit Bajaj guilty of gang rape.
The quantum of punishment will be pronounced on Friday. The courageous and gutsy Anglo-Indian woman, who came forward and revealed her identity on television in June 2013, grittily fought her case for three years against heavy odds.
