Mumbai: Three more witnesses deposed in the sessions court on Tuesday in the gang-rape case of an 18-year-old telephone operator in the Shakti Mills compound on July 31.
Out of the five accused in the telephone operator's gang-rape, three were also found to be involved in the August 22 photojournalist gang-rape case, in the same mill compound.
"The first witness was the 'panch' witness (the witness before whom the police seals or opens premises or seals things at the crime scene), the second was the employer of the victim's friend, while the third was a policeman," Special Public Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam said.
The second witness was the employer of the victim's friend. Her friend was also assaulted on the fateful day. According to Nikam, this witness said that his employee (the victim's friend) had called him at 8.30 pm and asked him for money for travelling to Chhattisgarh.
The victim's mother had lodged a 'missing' complaint after the victim and her friend went to Chhattisgarh.
On October 8, the police filed a 362-page chargesheet against the four accused in connection with the telephone operator's gang-rape case.
The accused had tied up the victim's colleague with belts before they allegedly gang-raped her.
