NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday acquitted three convicts who were awarded the death penalty by a Delhi Court after being held guilty of raping and killing a 19-year-old woman in Delhi’s Chhawala area in February 2012.
The victim’s mutilated body was found in a field with multiple injuries due to assault with objects ranging from car tools to earthen pots.
A Delhi court in February 2014 convicted three men for raping and killing a 19-year-old woman in 2012 and awarded them the death penalty.
Their capital punishment was confirmed by the Delhi High Court on August 26, 2014, who referred to them as “predators” moving on the streets “looking for prey”.
Ravi Kumar, Rahul, and Vinod were convicted under various charges dealing with kidnapping, rape and murder.
A case was registered regarding this at outer Delhi’s Chhawala (Najafgarh) police station.
According to the prosecution, the offence was brutal in nature as they first kidnapped the woman, raped her, killed her and dumped her body in a field in Rodhai village in Haryana’s Rewari district.
