The accused were found guilty by Principal Sessions Judge Shalini Phansalkar-Joshi Thursday in one of the two gang-rape cases committed in the same premises. The quantum of punishment was pronounced in a packed courtroom Friday.

The quantum of sentence in the Aug 22 gang-rape case of a photo-journalist will be announced later as the prosecution has sought severe punishment for the three who are guilty in both the cases.

 

The matter has been adjourned till March 24.
