The quantum of punishment to the five convicts in the Shakti Mill gangrape cases will be decided by a Mumbai court today.

The court yesterday held five men guilty in both the cases. The court convicted the five men for gangrape, conspiracy and offences under the Information Technology Act.

A total of seven persons, including two minors, were arrested in both the cases in which three of them are common. Two minors, one in each case, are being tried by the Juvenile Justice Board separately.

The first case pertains to the gangrape of a 22-year-old photojournalist who had gone to the deserted Shakti Mills compound with a male colleague on an assignment on August 22, 2013.

The other case is of an 18-year-old telephone operator who was gangraped by five persons including three of the accused in the first case at the same premises on July 31, last year.
