HYDERABAD: A local court on Monday convicted three auto drivers for gang-rape of a 23-year-old B Ed student near Shamirpet in 2011, and awarded them 10-year jail term for the offence.

The II additional district sessions court at the Rangareddy court complex in LB Nagar on Monday sentenced auto drivers B Sai Kumar, Mohammed Ghouse, both from Tumkunta, and B Krishna of Shamirpet to 10-year imprisonment for raping the student in Majidpur near Shamirpet.

On May 4, 2011, at about 10 pm, the victim, then a B Ed first year student of a college in Secunderabad, got into a city bus near the Secunderabad railway station to reach her home at Aliyabad village near Shamirpet. However, as the bus was going on some other route, the victim disembarked at Thumkunta, nearly seven kilometres away from Aliyabad.

As she was waiting at the Thumkunta bus stand, the trio came in an auto and lured the victim to board the vehicle by saying that it was the last vehicle she could find to reach home.

After the victim got into their vehicle, they took her into the forest near Majidpur and took turns to rape the hapless girl. After the perpetrating the brutality, they abandoned the victim and fled.

The victim, with her clothes torn and injured badly, managed to reach the Rajiv Rahdari (Karimnagar-Ramagundam road) on foot and waited there for help. With the assistance of a passerby, she managed to contact her parents and police.

After a detailed probe, the Shamirpet police had filed a chargesheet against five persons, including the trio. However, the court convicted only the three and acquitted the rest.
