The five convicts in the 2010 Dhaula Kuan gangrape case were "like beasts" and "psychopaths" who had no regard for the honour and dignity of women, a Delhi court today observed while awarding them life imprisonment.
The convicts were on the prowl to satisfy their "sexual lust", said Additional Sessions Judge Virender Bhat, adding that they were a "threat to the whole society" and should be kept away.
The court said that the convicts abducted the 30-year-old victim then, in a jiffy after she, along with her friend, was dropped by their office cab, which demonstrated that the men were on the prowl, looking for a "prey" to satisfy their "sexual lust".
"It appears that the convicts were wandering upon Delhi roads like beasts looking for their target of attack. It has come on record that all the convicts were married at that time, having children and still they were roaming on the roads in Delhi in search of a soft target to satisfy their sexual lust.
"This manifests that the convicts are psychopaths, having no regard for the honour and dignity of the women folk in the society and thus are a threat to the whole society. It is the demand of justice that they should be kept away from society as long as possible," the judge said.
