Jailed for raping a 21 year old lady, two junior officers in the Indian army had their charges dropped after agreeing to marry the victim and her sister
Sachin Gupta, 27, and Saurabh Chopra, 25, were accused of luring a 21-year-old woman to a hotel where they raped her and filmed the attack on their mobile phones.
When caught, their families offered to pay the victim's family to settle the charges but they refused saying they would only drop charges if the men married not just the alleged victim, but also her younger sister, aged 19.
Once the deal was agreed, the joint wedding took place at the local temple in Bareilly, a city in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.
The bridegrooms were absent from the ceremony as they were not allowed to be released from prison until the marriages had been formalised.After that, they were freed from jail.
Good move, is it really a solution? God help the brides!!
