A local court in Muzaffarnagar has sentenced two men — Maheshvir and Sikander Malik — to 20 years in jail for the gangrape of a woman from the minority community during the 2013 communal riots in the western UP district that left over 50,000 homeless and claimed 60 lives. The third accused, Kuldeep Singh, had died during the course of the trial in 2020. The case had gained pace after the Supreme Court’s intervention.
