Delhi school rape case: Family of accused threatened survivor’s family, court told

On Wednesday, the pleas were heard by Justice Vinod Kumar. Additional Solicitor General (ASG) SV Raju — appearing for the prosecution – highlighted the seriousness of the offence, and that the child victim also identified the accused as well as made specific allegations, and thus bail granted requires to be cancelled.

The complainant’s counsel meanwhile, told the court, “There are certain facts I wish to bring to the court’s notice which have happened subsequently, with regard to threatening, intimidation and with regard to an incident that has happened today in the court premises…the main witness has been threatened, today also an incident has happened…the bail granted was in a very casual manner and it should be set aside.”

Meanwhile, the complainant, the survivor’s mother, also orally submitted before the court, “Aaj bhi inke ladke ne Gate 7 ke bahar battameezi ki hai (today too the accused staffer’s son has misbehaved with us outside Gate no 7 of Delhi HC).”

The court will consider the plea seeking cancellation of the bail granted to the teacher on July 8.
Meanwhile, former AAP MLA Saurabh Bharadwaj took to X (formerly Twitter) terming the alleged threats and intimidation to be “shocking”, while tagging and requesting the LG’s office and the city police commissioner’s office to “take this seriously”.

Bharadwaj further posted that the Delhi Police investigation officer has “acknowledged that they found the CCTV footage from Delhi High Court showing the incident”, while urging the LG’s Office to “direct the police to take strictest action in this matter”.
