Additional Sessions Judge Anurag Sain held Ravi and Digamber guilty of the charges of raping the woman, threatening her and illegally confining her and sentenced them to jail.
The court also directed that a compensation of Rs five lakh be paid to the victim by the Delhi Legal Service Authority after advocate Varsha Ahluwalia submitted that the woman be given appropriate compensation for her rehabilitation.
The matter had come to light at that time when the couple narrated their ordeal to an auto-rickshaw driver while on their way to the Anand Vihar railway station.
According to the prosecution, the woman and her husband, who belong to Bihar, had gone to Meerut to look for employment. But when they did not succeed, they came to Delhi and were looking for a room on rent in northeast Delhi in June 2013.
