Patna, Jan 28 (IANS) A court in Bihar Wednesday sentenced three people to life in prison for gang-raping an 11-year-old girl in Bhojpur district, a lawyer said.

First additional district and sessions judge of Ara civil court J.P. Mishra pronounced the order.

Nilnidhi Singh, his brother Jay Prakash Singh and Jaggu Pandit have been charged with raping six Mahadalit women, including the girl, at gun point in the district's Kurmuri village Oct 8, 2014.

Police said the medical report only confirmed the rape of the minor girl.

Last week, the court absolved them of the charges of raping five other Mahadalit women for lack of evidence.
