Medical and forensic evidence have corroborated the woman's testimony that she was raped by the Uber cab driver who had also tried to force her into unnatural sex, Delhi Police told a city court in Delhi today.
Continuing final arguments, the prosecutor representing the police submitted that there was ample evidence to show that the 25-year-old woman was not a consenting party to the sexual acts of 32-year-old Shiv Kumar Yadav as several injuries were found on her body.
"The oral testimony of the woman regarding her injuries finds corroboration with medical evidence. The accused had raped her and also tried to commit unnatural sex with her. The forensic expert has also said in his testimony that on examining the forensic samples of the accused and the victim, it was found that the driver had tried to commit unnatural sex with her," Special Public Prosecutor Atul Shrivastava told Additional Sessions Judge Kaveri Baweja.
The prosecutor said that driver Yadav has "miserably failed" to bring anything against the forensic evidence.
"There is sufficient evidence on record to convict Yadav for charges framed against him. Prosecution has been able to prove charges for the offences of Sections 376(2)(m), 366, 506 and 323 of the IPC. None of the witnesses have turned hostile," Mr Shrivastava said while concluding the prosecution's final arguments.
The court on January 13 had framed charges against Shiv Kumar Yadav under various sections of the Indian Penal Code for alleged offences of endangering a woman's life while raping her, abducting with an intent to compel her for marriage, criminally intimidating and causing hurt.
