Labhpur (West Bengal): After months of wait, a tribal girl from West Bengal's Birbhum district has finally got justice. She was gangraped by over 10 men for having a relationship with a man from another community.
A local court in West Bengal sentenced 13 people to 20 years in prison Saturday over the gang-rape of a tribal girl in the state's Birbhum district in January this year.
All the 13 men were a part of Kangaro court that had ordered the gang-rape of the girl.
The girl belongs to a poor family. Her family was reportedly first asked to pay a fine of a huge amount of money as the punishment for the girl being in relationship with a man from other community.
When the family said they couldn't pay the amount, the Kangaroo court headed by the village headman, ordered the gang-rape of the girl.
At least 10 men had allegedly gang-raped the 20-year-old woman on the order of the kangaroo court.
The woman had named 13 people in the FIR filed in the Labhpur police station.
