It took almost 11 years for the courts to tear through the arguments made by the culprits and punish them with some sort of justice. Gaurav Shukla who was the nephew of former MLA Arun Kumar Shukla is the main accused in the said case. Gaurav along with his friends has abducted a minor girl from the Aashina area of Lucknow. They took turns in molesting her and tortured her with cigarette butts. And that wasn’t the end of the cruelty. The victim was later taken to a farmhouse where two more friends of Gaurav has joined the crime. The victim was later left off on a road in a semi conscious state. The rape case has certainly created sensation in the nation.

Arun Kumar Shukla a gangster turned politician was accused for influencing the case. It took almost a month for the police to arrest the accused. Even as Gaurav got arrested, he tried to prove that he was minor at the time of crime and should be treated under juvenile law. But the sessions court in Lucknow has yesterday stated that it was not convinced with the minority of the culprit and has sentenced him to 10 years of imprisonment. Of the five other culprits, two were awarded 10 years imprisonment in 2007, one with life term in 2013 while two others died in an accident during the course of trial. However the victim and her family is not happy with the verdict. They are thinking of approaching the High court of Uttar Pradesh for a strict punishment to Gaurav Shukla as he was the main perpetrator in the crime.
