Surat gangrape: Life imprisonment to three accused
Surat, 19 February, 2010




Setting new standard of speedy justice in rape cases, a Gujarat fast track court on Friday, Feb 19 sentenced three accused to life imprisonment and slapped a fine of Rs 1 lakh each.

Shahid Saiyed (22), Tariq Saiyed (21) and Abu Bakr (33) were the accused in the Surat gangrape of a 16-year-old in Jun 2009.

Posing as policemen, the trio picked up the victim when she was her way to a coaching class in the wee hours of the morning and raped her in a vehicle. The accused also recorded a video of the act on mobile phones.

Two of the three accused are sons of policemen.

This is the first rape case that has seen justice within a year. The case was transferred to a fast track court after wide-spread protests.

On Jun 13, 2009, an enraged mob thrashed the three accused prompting the Gujarat government to transfer the case to a fast track court.

Meanwhile Vishwa Hindu Parishad leader Pravin Togadiya said, “we welcome this decision, however, for such crime, lief imprisonment is not enough and therefore VHP demands that the government should demand death sentence for them. So that in future, nobody would dare to do such crime. Also police officer whose car was used in crime should be dismissed from police department”.

While Abu Bakr was sent to Vadodara central jail, other two were sent to Junagadh jail.

    I am so happy today after reading this news. I just fear now what if this case goes to supreme court? and what if even out of Gujarat? I hope this dont happen but we all know if case goes out of Gujarat they will be free in six months like Aashuri case culprit.

  10. DHARMESH.K.PATEL ,florida,USA says:

    FINALLY THIS THREE EDIOTS GOT PUNISHMENT. BUT NOW EVERY ONE IN GUJART
    MUST CHECK UP ON FOLLOW UP WITH RAPIST CASE. BECAUSE AFTER FEW MONTH’S OR
    FEW YEARS. THEY MIGHT BE BACK ON STREET BY BAIL-OUT BY SOME CRIMINAL LAWYER’S.

    IN CASE THEY ARE ANY CRIMINAL BACK ON STREET. MEDIA SHOULD REPUBLISH NEWS AGAIN.

  11. Hari says:

    While in the goondaraj Kangress the criminal police Rathore is smiling and still openly moving around for last 15 years after his gory crime, or take the case of Manu Sharma or the Goa Kangressi politicians who are raping tourists openly without any fear, or the Salu or the Sanju openly working for underworlds and Amir/SRK’s open support to NBA and NaPak terrorism, these are the typical of a Kangressi goondaraj.
    , whereas in Gujarat our justice system has put the criminals behind bars within a year.
    This makes all of us proud. Thanks to Narendrabhai Modi, our ladilaa BJP CM.
    Jay Jay Garvi Gujarat

  12. Hari says:

    THE CREDIT FOR THIS VICTORY OF JUSTICE GOES TO THE HINDU GIRL who stood out like a great soul braving these three monsters single-handed and reaping a glorious inspiration for all the girls with the respect she deserves. Really, Jai to this girl!
    and, Jai! to Home minister(NAMO) of Gujarat for giving this award of Justice to her. She should be handsomely respected for her noble spirit.

    As a lesson from this episode, I urge our Gujarat Government to train all our girls in martial arts and techniques for self-defense. We can rope in someone like Commando Dubey for a Gujarat-wide training of all girls in self-defense. http://www.shaolindeepakdubey.com/

    I think in India we should have laws like some other countries. For eg. Rapist’s hand or leg should be cut or hang them in front of public.

  14. real bharatiya says:

    Life impresionment is not enough. They should be hanged to set an example.

    And to my bjp supporters:
    Guj is not special. Culprits of many rape cases with Muslim women during 2002 riots are still moving freely in modiji raj. They raped & killed not one or two but 15-18 women.

  15. real bharatiya says:

    why hari is quite on my comment? do u feel proud on modiji for oppression on Muslim rape victim women?
