Guntur Fifth Additional District & Sessions Court Judge K. Neelima on November 16 (Thursday) awarded two persons 20 years of rigorous imprisonment and imposed a fine of ₹20,000 each, after convicting them in a gang-rape case. The case was expedited by the police as a part of the Disha initiatives.

Palnadu district Superintendent of Police (SP) Y. Ravi Shankar Reddy told the media that the case pertained to the gang-rape of a woman hailing from Madhya Pradesh, who was travelling with her three-year-old son.
