Gagandeep Singh, a 34-year-old Indian-origin man, was sentenced to 34 years in prison in London after being convicted of kidnap, torture, and rape. The victim, a 24-year-old woman, was taken to a house in Hanwell where she endured prolonged abuse. The court heard she was initially reluctant to report the crimes due to threats.
