The reaction occurs as follows:
C6H6 + Cl2 ---------> C6H6Cl6
This is a free radical reaction, in presence of sunlight Cl2 undergoes homolytic fission to give 2 Cl radicals which add to the benzene ring.

the reason I am going to state might not be the exact reason i am presuming this that-when we chlorinate benzene by addition of a lewis acid like AlCl3 the reaction proceeds by electrophile addition since electrophile in this is case is our Cl+ which combines with AlCl3 to form AlCl4 which on reacting with the benzene ring reduces its neuclophilicity and hence the product obtained(major) is a mono subsituted chlorobenzene.
But in this reaction we are not using AlCl3 we are using direct Cl2 gas in presence of strong radiation-Ultraviolet which is then able to break open the double bonds of the benzene ring and facilitate the approch of the reactive intermediate of chlorine, most probably a free radical of Cl. since i believe if the reaction proceeds by free radical mechanism this way all the carbons of benzene will have equal share of electron (moreover in the space freons disturbs ozone layer because they are able to form free radicals with UV rays). So i believe it proceeds via free radical mechanism and hence form gammaexane( gamma isomer) with other minor isomers of C6Cl6H6 .
if you find any other explaination do share with me i also want to know, but this explaination of mine i believe is appropriate for the moment (science is based on hypothesis first and then creation of theories :P so lets explore )
