Bombay HC grants bail to one in Pushpak Express gangrape case

2.5 years after eight men were arrested in a case of alleged dacoity and gang rape of a 20-year-old newlywed, on a Mumbai-bound Pushpak Express, Bombay High Court granted bail to one accused finding no prima facie proof that he was part of the gang. The prosecution said it was a case of gang rape in the presence of her husband and other passengers and had invoked IPC section 376D alleging that two of the gang members had “sexually exploited’’ the woman.
