The male friend and the sole eyewitness to the 16 December brutal assault and gang-rape of the victim in a moving bus was cross-examined by the defence in the fast-track court trying the case on Monday.
The youth, a software engineer, who had testified as a witness for the prosecution during in camera proceedings against the five accused who have pleaded not guilty to the charges of rape and murder framed against them, was today cross-examined by the counsel for accused Pawan Gupta. His cross-examination will continue on Tuesday. The victim’s friend arrived before additional sessions judge Yogesh Khanna in a wheelchair because of the injuries inflicted on him in the heinous attack of 16 December. Apart from the victim’s friend, three others — including a person who had seen the accused destroying the evidence after commission of the crime — have already deposed in the court.
