The Delhi High Court ruled that a woman can be charged with gang rape even if she did not physically commit the act. Justice Anup Jairam Bhambhani stated the term "persons" in the gang rape law is gender-neutral and includes women who act with common intention, even if not directly involved in the physical act. This interpretation applies under IPC section 376D and BNS section 70.
