The plea of one of the accused in the 16 December gang rape case for interim bail to visit his ailing mother in Bihar was on Wednesday rejected by a fast track court here. Noting that the accused had absconded and was arrested from his native village in Bihar after a nationwide hunt, additional sessions judge, Yogesh Khanna, dismissed the plea of Akshay Thakur for interim bail for 15 days.
‘The team which had gone to apprehend him at his native village had deposed the manner in which they had travelled in the Naxalite-prone area to apprehend the accused and further the accused has no roots in Delhi as has been admitted by the defence counsel, who has said that he used to stay in the bus and these do not make out a case of interim bail for the accused,’ the court said.
Akshay is one of the four adult accused facing trial for gang raping a 23-year-old paramedic student here.
