Park Street rape victim testifies before court

The Park Street rape victim on Wednesday testified before a city court, where the case is being heard in-camera. “She has deposed before the court today[Wednesday]. Her testimony is not yet over and she will again be present on Thursday,” said the victim’s counsel Anirban Guha Thakurta.

Though the main accused in the case, Kader Khan, remains absconding, the trial against three others arrested by the city police commenced on March 2. Additional Metropolitan Judge Maddhuchanda Bose is hearing the matter.

The court, which had fixed charges against the three accused — Sumit Bajaj, Ruman Khan and Nasir Khan — on February 19, directed that none except the lawyers, witnesses and the accused would be allowed to be present.
