A Delhi court on Saturday recorded testimonies of two police personnel as prosecution witnesses in the Uber cab rape case in which a 25-year-old woman was sexually assaulted aboard a cab by the driver last month.
Additional Sessions Judge Kaveri Baweja recorded the statements of woman sub-inspector Alma Minj, the initial investigating officer of the case, and sub-inspector Sandeep, who had seized the car in which the incident took place.
Ms. Minj said around 1-30 a.m. on December 6 last year, after receiving information about the incident, she had gone to the victim’s house in Inderlok and recorded her statement.
She said she had noticed injuries on the victim’s body. She along with other officials had taken her to Bara Hindu Rao Hospital for medical examination and the victim’s mother had also gone with them.
On the same day, the victim took the cops to Vasant Vihar near Priya cinema hall from where she had boarded the taxi.
After the arrest of the accused, Shiv Kumar Yadav, he was brought at Sarai Rohilla police station by the police.
She added that when she was interrogating the accused, she received information from senior officials that further probe would be conducted by sub-inspector Renu and she handed over Yadav’s custody and other documents to her.
During her cross-examination by Yadav’s advocate Aalok Dwivedi, the personnel said the victim was unable to tell the exact location of the incident and that she had only stated that it took place in the taxi.
Her cross-examination remained inconclusive and will continue on January 27. – PTI
