Mangalore Today News Network

Bulandshahr, December 22, 2025: All five convicts in the Bulandshahr NH 91 gang rape case have been sentenced to life imprisonment on Monday.  The horrific incident dates back to July 29, 2016, when a family of five was travelling by car from Noida to Shahjahanpur.

As they reached near Dostpur village on National Highway-91 in the Bulandshahr Kotwali Dehat area, the attackers stopped their car by placing an iron rod on the road.

The men then forced the family out of the vehicle and took them to nearby fields along with the car. There, the accused brutally gang-raped the mother and her daughter, while the other family members were kept helpless.

Speaking after the verdict, Additional District Government Counsel Varun Kaushik said the court’s decision sent a strong message that such offenders must be kept away from society. “…All five convicts have been sentenced to life imprisonment by the court today, and the court has also sent a message that such criminals should be kept away from society…" he said.
