Court sentences four men to life in prison for raping call-centre operator

An Indian court sentenced four men to life in prison on Friday for raping a call-centre operator last year inside an abandoned textile mill in the financial hub of Mumbai. Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam said the Mumbai court delivered the maximum punishment to the four after finding them guilty of rape, unnatural sex and abduction. The court delayed the sentencing of three of the defendants and a fourth person in the rape of another woman, a photojournalist, until Monday. That attack occurred several weeks after the call-centre operator attack at the same location, Nikam said. Nikam said he might ask for death sentences for the three defendants because of their involvement in two rape cases. The four sentenced on Friday are expected to appeal the verdict in a higher court.
