Seven years after a woman executive of a multinational company was raped inside the Amby Valley resort, the Pune district court has sentenced a security guard of the resort to 10 years of rigorous imprisonment.

The convict has been identified as security guard Dharmendra Kumar Rambhau Chaudhari (29), a resident of Navlaga Chaudhari in Hathras district of Uttar Pradesh. He was arrested after the victim identified his voice sample.

The then 29-year-old woman from Mumbai was part of a 270-member group, including 30 women, who had participated in the pan-India conference of a food conglomerate at Aamby Valley resort on December 9, 2010.
