New Delhi, October 16, 2014: On the day that a Delhi court convicted all the five persons accused in the case, the 34-year-old victim of the Dhaula Kuan gangrape is still haunted by her horrifying ordeal of four years back.
The woman quit her BPO job and in 2011 went back to her home in Mizoram’s Aizawl, never to return to Delhi.
She is trying to pick up the pieces by starting a small business in her native village, said Kuki, one of her close friends.
“I informed her about the verdict and she said she was happy to know about it and is looking forward to the quantum of punishment they (the convicted persons) will be awarded,” Kuki said, adding that her friend had told her that she wants them to “get the severest punishment they deserve”.
“I wish they never get to touch a woman in their lives again”, Kuki quoted her friend as having said.
Kuki said that her friend, who has a daughter, is very much involved in church and community work.
The verdict also signals a triumph for Investigating Officer Rajkumari who had pursued the probe into the case.
“I am happy that the perpetrators have finally been brought to book. After the verdict was announced, I got a message from her saying ‘thanks’. I called her up and she was crying. She said she was happy with the verdict but added that she doesn’t want to speak to anybody,” said Rajkumari.
A Delhi court yesterday held all the five accused guilty in the 2010 Dhaula Kuan gangrape case, saying that the DNA report clearly demonstrates that the girl was raped by them.
The woman, who was a 30-year-old BPO executive then, was abducted while walking home at night with her friend after her shift had ended. After gangraping her, the five had abandoned her on the road in Dhaula Kuan of south Delhi.
