NEW DELHI - A court Monday convicted five persons on charges of gang raping and robbing a 52-year-old Danish woman in 2014 at a railway premise in Delhi, said officials.
Additional Sessions Judge Ramesh Kumar held the five guilty and set June 9 for hearing arguments on the quantum of sentence.
They were accused of robbing and gang raping the Danish woman at knife point near the New Delhi railway station in January 2014, after she lost her way and sought directions to her hotel.
One of the accused Shyam Lal died in February in the Tihar Jail here and proceedings against him were quashed.
Three minors are facing proceedings before the Juvenile Justice Board in the case.
Police said the accused were vagabonds who took the woman to an isolated spot near the Divisional Railway Officers' Club, snatched her belongings and gang raped her for several hours before letting her go.
