Proof against Delhi gangrape accused suspect: Amicus to SC

In his submissions before a bench led by Justice Dipak Misra, Hegde contended that multiple dying declaration by the victim and statements of her friend accompanying her on the night of December 16, 2012, showed gradual improvements to fit the prosecution’s version. He also said that the call records of accused Ram Singh and Mukesh showed different locations of their phones and added there was a telephonic conversation between them around the time of the incident. Hegde questioned why they would speak to each other on phone if both were in the same bus.

Also casting doubt on the recoveries made from the accused in the case, the lawyer urged the bench to ascertain whether the offence was carried out individually or collectively by all the four.

Representing the Delhi Police, senior lawyer Sidharth Luthra countered Hegde’s submissions and said that the evidence on record established the guilt of all four accused.

About the call records, Luthra said that if the two accused were using services of different mobile service providers, their location could show differently even though they could be at the same place. He placed on record the dying declarations of the victim and said she had been consistent in her stand throughout. Luthra’s will continue his argument on Monday.

Earlier, senior advocate Raju Ramachandran, another amicus curiae in the case, had argued in favour of commuting the death penalty of the accused, stating they were not given a fair trial. The court is hearing the final arguments in the case.
