SHILLONG: Twenty-five days after the gruesome gang-rape of an 18-year-old girl at Williamnagar, East Garo Hills police on Monday finally submitted the charge sheet in the court.

The Williamnagar gang-rape case had occurred on December 13 last.

Recently, the police had claimed that the charge sheet has been filed only to change its version later.

According to East Garo Hills Superintendent of Police Jerry FK Marak, seven out of the sixteen accused have been named in the charge sheet while for the other nine accused, who are juveniles, separate action will be taken under the Juvenile Justice Act.

Meanwhile, with the case being charge sheeted, police hoped that the trial, which is supposed to be conducted every week as per the request of the Director General of Police following the absence of a Fast Track Court, would begin soon.
