The accused in the Mumbai gangrape case have admitted to having earlier committed two rapes and a molestation inside the deserted Shakti Mills compound, investigators said on Tuesday.

As forensic experts scoured the mill compound for more evidence, the accused were subjected to a Layered Voice Analysis (LVA) test, which is designed for truth verification and detection of deceit.

LVA helps measure the emotional content of human speech, captured live or extracted from recorded audio.

During interrogation, the accused admitted to having raped a ragpicker and a sex worker on separate occasions a few months back, said a crime branch official privy to the probe.

‘However, so far no complaints have been received as regards the above incidents. Also, there appears to be a molestation of a woman, who had come to the defunct mill with her partner,’ the official said, adding that such incidents as could have occurred over the last six months were being verified.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, the officer said that they have identified another key witness in the gangrape of the 23-year-old photojournalist.

The victim, an intern with an English magazine, was allegedly raped by the five accused on 22 August.
