New Delhi : A policeman, deposing as witness in a gang rape case, Wednesday refuted the police version and said the victim was abducted in a Maruti car from Dhaula Kuan in Delhi and not in a Santro car as claimed by the prosecution.
Constable Raj Kumar told Additional Sessions Judge V.K. Bansal that the victim’s friend informed him and Sub-inspector Maley Ram that the accused had forcibly taken the girl towards Gurgaon in a Maruti car.
“We met Rochelle (victim’s friend), who told SI Maley Ram that the girl was with her and has been forcibly taken away by three or four men in a Maruti car of grey colour towards the Gurgaon road,” the witness said, casting doubt over the prosecution story.
The police in their charge-sheet had claimed that the four men – Ajit Katiyar, Danda, Jat and Tappe – May 8, 2005 had abducted the victim around 2:15 a.m. from Dhaula Kuan in a steel colour Santro car and raped her for almost two hours. The girl was walking back home after picking food from a roadside eatery.
Deposing as the 19th prosecution witness, Raj Kumar said he had found the victim near a gurdwara in south Delhi, where the accused had dumped her after allegedly raping her.
