The court also imposed a fine of Rs 15,000 each on the four convicts and Rs 10,000 each on the two women who connived with them.
A local court on Monday sentenced four men to life imprisonment for gang-raping a Dalit girl around 16 years ago.
Additional Joint Director Prosecution Anil Upadhyay said the court also imposed a fine of Rs 15,000 each on the four convicts and Rs 10,000 each on the two women who connived with them.
He said that half of the fine would be given to the family of the rape victim.
The incident took place on April 27, 2007. Both the women had taken the girl to a village on the pretext of getting her a job at a shop set up in the fair. Late in the night, they sent the girl to fetch water from the handpump where the four convicts raped her.
Upadhyay said that on reaching home, the girl narrated the ordeal to her parents, following which a complaint was lodged with the police.
