After the robbery, the suspects took the girl to a separate room and gang raped her, despite requests from her parents to spare her, the FIR stated. The additional district and sessions judge, Rana Abdul Hakim, on Wednesday pronounced the verdict. A few months ago, in Shujabad, Multan, four armed robbers had ganged raped a newly-wed bride in front of her husband. The police are yet to nab the culprits. —PTI
