A bench of Justices Mukta Gupta and Anish Dayal said from the nature of injures reported in the post-mortem report, it was evident that the woman put up a brave resistance before the two men, "who overpowered her physically, raped and eventually strangulated her".
The Delhi High Court Thursday upheld the life sentence awarded to two men convicted of gang-rape and murder of a woman in 2012, saying the brutality showed the "depraved and evil" mentality of the convicts.
A bench of Justices Mukta Gupta and Anish Dayal said from the nature of injures reported in the post-mortem report, it was evident that the woman put up a brave resistance before the two men, "who overpowered her physically, caused grievous injures on her body, raped and eventually strangled her".
"Thereafter, they attempted to erase the evidence by dumping the body on the roadside and extracted her belongings and put them in different locations. Considering the brutality of the act right in the heart of Delhi which is usually patrolled by police shows the depraved evil mentality of the appellants, who acted with complete impunity with no fear of either the life or consequence of their act and dignity of the woman," the bench said.
