Manipal: Three men found guilty of gangraping a student at Manipal university in Karnataka in 2013 have finally been sentenced to life imprisonment, along with a fine of £1,100 each. Two others, guilty of destroying evidence in the case were sentenced to three years and fined £50 each, by a court in Udupi. A young woman while leaving the library on campus late at night was dragged into an autorickshaw and gang-raped, in June 2013. She was later dropped back to near where she lived. The incident was followed by several protests and manhunt was launched for the rapists, based on the description and security camera footage of the vehicle involved.
