The trial in the Uber cab rape case
which has witnessed several twists and turns would enter its final
stage, with a Delhi court slated to commence hearing final arguments
from Monday.
The trial in the case, which came to light after the
December 5 last year incident, had begun before Additional Sessions
Judge Kaveri Baweja on January 15 with the court recording statement of
the victim as a prosecution witness.
On February 11, the court had closed defence evidence in
the case observing that Shiv Kumar Yadav had attempted to delay the
proceedings again by seeking adjournment.
The court has already recorded statements of 28
prosecution witnesses including the victim who had identified Yadav as
the one who had raped her. It has also recorded the testimony of the
accused in which he termed the charge against him as “false”.
The court on January 13 had framed charges against Yadav
under various sections of the Indian Penal Code for alleged offences of
endangering a woman’s life while raping her, kidnapping with intent to
compel her for marriage, criminally intimidating and causing hurt.
