On Wednesday Seven members of the Snake Gang, who had terrorized the city’s outskirts by running kangaroo courts and targeting women, were sentenced to life imprisonment by a court and though rape charges were dropped by the court, the gangsters were convicted for the molestation of a young woman and the violent assault on her boyfriend at a farmhouse in 2014.


The gang has earned its name after they used snakes to threaten victims, by pronouncing the judgment; Judge V. Vara Prasad has sentenced Dayani and six others including Khader B, Tayyab B, Mohd Pervez, Sayyed Anwar, Khaja Ahmed and Mohd Ibrahim to life imprisonment and has directed them to pay a fine of Rs 5,000 each.


The Cyberabad police commissioner C.V. Anand has said that the police will continue efforts to prove the rape charges against the gang, which was dropped by the court due to lack of victim testimony. The Police had arrested the gang after an 18 year old girl has said she was sexually assaulted by them at a farmhouse in Shaheen Nagar on July 31, 2014. 


The police has failed to prove the rape charges as the victim did not confirm it and the eighth convict, Ali B, was sentenced to 20 months RI, he has already spent this period in jail and all the eight convicts were present in court for the judgment. The gang was also involved in land grabbing and running kangaroo courts in the city's outskirts.
