Kazakh woman summoned

A Delhi court has issued fresh summons to a Kazakhstan national, who was allegedly gang-raped by three men at a hotel here last year, seeking her presence before it to record her deposition. 

The court sought the woman’s appearance before it on May 10 after it was informed that the matter regarding service of earlier summons to the woman was still pending with the Ministry of External Affairs of Kazakhstan. “It is submitted by Inspector Ravinder, present in the court that summons to the prosecutrix be issued afresh and four months’ time may be given for taking necessary steps in this regard. Considering the report received and submissions made, it is directed that summons be again issued to the prosecutrix through SHO of Police Station Karol Bagh, returnable on May 10, 2016,” Additional Sessions Judge Kaveri Baweja said.
