BENGALURU: Ten years after a 22-year-old student from Bengaluru’s Frazer Town was abducted, molested and raped in a car, a city court this week convicted and sentenced five men to between six months and 14 years in prison.
Nasir Hyder , aka Nasir, was convicted of abduction and rape , for which the additional city civil and sessions judge handed him a 14-year jail sentence on Oct 21. He is the son of a local politician.
His accomplice Shafeeq Ahmed was sentenced to 10 years in jail, co-convicts Shoyeb and Hafeez received one-year terms each, and Mohammed Ishq Soudh was sentenced to six months of incarceration. The survivor and her friend, son of a Bengaluru restaurateur, were students of a college in Mangaluru and were in Bengaluru on vacation in July 2014.
On the night of July 10, the duo dined out with friends and the woman’s friend offered to drop her home. On reaching the area around midnight, the two spent some time in the car chatting. Around 12.15am, a Skoda Fabia pulled up beside the car. The occupants asked the survivor to get out of the car. Sensing danger, she tried to run into her apartment building, but was pulled back by the group and made to get into their vehicle.
Her male friend was also forced into the car. The car then moved from once place to another for an hour, during which time Nasir sexually assaulted the survivor. The car stopped by the side of a rail track, where the survivor’s friend was dragged out. Nasir proceeded to rape the woman, asking her not to resist if she didn’t want her friend to be killed. Her ordeal continued for 15 minutes before the gang released her and the college friend.
