Court to hear final arguments on Jan 4 in Danish gang-rape case

A Delhi court has fixed January 4 for hearing final arguments in a case related to the alleged gang-rape of a 52-year-old Danish woman by nine persons including three juveniles last year.

The court listed the matter for final arguments after the six adult accused said in their testimonies that they do not want to examine any witness in their defence.

“Statement of accused recorded under Section 313 of CrPC. Accused state that they do not want to examine any witness in their defence. Hence, defence evidence stands closed,” Additional Sessions 

Judge Kaveri Baweja said while fixing the matter for January 4, 2016.

During recording of their statements in the court, the six accused claimed innocence and alleged that the police falsely implicated them in the case.

The court had asked over 100 questions each to the six accused.
