Judge inspects place where epileptic minor raped

New Delhi: The police failure to prepare the site plan of an offence of the gangrape of a minor epileptic girl during the probe into it today prompted a judge trying the case to personally visit various spots linked to the crime "in the interest of justice."

Additional Sessions Judge Kamini Lau, who is conducting the trial in the case, visited a slum at Jahangir Puri in North West Delhi from where the girl had been kidnapped and several other places, including the one where the girl had allegedly been held captive for several days and gangraped by five people last year.

The other places visited by the judge included the place from where the victim was left after the incident and the place from where the girl's father had called up the police to have an idea of the distance between Jahangir Puri police station and the scene of the crime.

"Spot inspection of the jhuggi clusters at Jahangir Puri has been conducted by the court duly accompanied by public prosecutor, defence counsel and the investigating officer. These places have been duly inspected and observations regarding relevant facts prepared," the court said, fixing the matter for additional arguments tomorrow.

The five accused Mukesh, Deepak, Ravinder, Rajeev and Prabhans Yadav, who are lodged in Tihar Jail, are facing trial for allegedly kidnapping and gang raping the minor girl.
