A UK court has sentenced Indian-origin Gagandeep Singh to 34 years in prison after convicting him of kidnapping, raping and seriously injuring a 24-year-old woman in London.

UK court has jailed an Indian-origin man, Gagandeep Singh, to 34 years in prison in the United Kingdom after being convicted of kidnapping, torturing and raping a 24-year-old woman in London.

The 34-year-old was found guilty in February on two counts of rape, as well as charges of kidnapping, false imprisonment and causing grievous bodily harm with intent, following a trial at Isleworth Crown Court.

Singh will serve a 34-year sentence, comprising 28 years in custody followed by a six-year extended licence period under strict restrictions. He cannot be considered for parole until he has served at least 18 years, or two-thirds of the custodial term, according to PTI.
