The Delhi High Court on Friday (February 2) dismissed the appeals of five convicts in the 2010 Dhaula Kuan gang rape case. The court upheld their life terms.

All five convicts had been awarded life imprisonment in the sensational gang rape case of a 30-year-old BPO executive from north-east India.

The convicts, Usman alias Kale, Shamshad alias Khutkan, Shahid alias Chhota Billi, Iqbal alias Bada Billi and Kamruddin alias Mobile are residents of Mewat region in Haryana.

Upholding the conviction of the five, the bench said that the trial court found the woman’s evidence credible and trustworthy and the high court finds no reason to take a different view.
