The case relates to the abduction of a 16-year-old girl (16 years, 3 months, and 23 days as on January 16, 1996) from her school hostel at Suryanelli in Idukki district on January 16, 1996 by a bus conductor, first accused Raju, in the guise of love.

She was then handed over by the conductor to second accused Usha and Dharmarajan and was transported from place to place in Kerala and Tamil Nadu for 40 days. During the 40-day period, she was presented to 37-41 men and was raped 67 times, until she was released on the morning of February 26, 1996. She was transported for over 3,000 kilometres by the gang during the rapes.

 

 

When she fell seriously ill, she was given a small amount of money and told to go home on 26 February 1996. She was threatened not to report the incident to anyone.

 

Doctors who examined her later, her private parts were "so ruined that a mere touch in these areas would induce blood"

 

The girl filed a police complaint on 27 February 1996. The local police allegedly tried to discourage her from pursuing the complaint, and the investigation was delayed

 

A total of 40 persons had faced trial in the case, which included 9 businessmen, 2 advocates, 2 railway employees, 3 vehicle brokers, 1 mechanic, 1 policeman, 5 drivers, 1 professor, 1 clerk, 5 coolies, 6 farmers, 1 bus conductor, 1 nurse, and sex worker Usha who pimped the girl.

 

• On September 2, 2000, a sessions court at Kottayam had convicted 35 of the accused to undergo prison sentences ranging from 4 to 13 years and had acquitted four persons.

 

• Considering appeals filed by convicts, a division bench of the high court had, on January 20, 2005, acquitted all the accused except Dharmarajan. He was convicted only for procuration of minor girl, and not for rape. His sentence was modified to 4 years of rigorous imprisonment from life imprisonment by the high court.

 

Finally the prosecution's appeal in the apex court against the high court verdict lay idle for nearly eight years was taken for hearing in January 2013 after the Delhi gang rape incident.,

accused  have been held guilty of gang rape by Kerala high court on Apr 4, 2014 after a rehearing in the case
