In Brief
A man was convicted of kidnapping, enticing, and gang-raping a 14-year-old girl, resulting in pregnancy. The High Court affirmed the conviction. On appeal, the Supreme Court upheld his conviction for rape and enticement of a minor but modified the gang rape charge to simple rape, as no convincing evidence showed all accused acted together. The Court also set aside the criminal intimidation conviction due to insufficient evidence of threat. Since the appellant had already served over 8 years in custody, the Court ordered his release on payment of fine.", <parameter name="cited_cases">[]
