More than 100 girls were victim of the scandal
More than 100 girls were victims of a gang whose members befriended them, photographed them in compromising situations and then raped them.
Although 18 people were accused in the case, these six accused were tried separately. The other accused served their sentences or were acquitted by the court.
The girls, aged between 11 and 20, studied at a well-known private school in Ajmer. They were called to a farm, where they were raped.
