gang-defiled their 15-year old classmate at her resident.
“The boys claimed that they came
to visit their female classmate at her house while her parents were not around.
“They offered her a drink which
was suspected to contain some sleeping pills and that was the last the girl
remembered when she became conscious.

she discovered that she was naked and bleeding while the boys had disappeared.
“She raised an alarm which led to
the arrest of the accused.

traumatised and hospitalized as a result of the incident,” she said.

contravened Sections 260 (1) (2) (4), 261, 263 (1) and 411 of the Criminal Law

There, they would receive both
educational and vocational trainings aimed at rehabilitating and reforming them
