Rape by one of a gang makes others responsible, equally punishable: SC

The Supreme Court has affirmed that in gangrape cases, proving each accused committed the complete act of rape isn’t necessary for conviction. The court emphasized that if one member of a group commits rape with shared intent, all involved are equally responsible and punishable under Section 376(2)(g) of IPC, highlighting the principle of joint liability based on common intention.
