Gangrape: Another Jamia student sent to JC till Jan 16

Twenty-year-old Prateek Singh Choudhary, the sixth law student of the University to be arrested in the gangrape case of the 16-year-old girl, was produced before Metropolitan Magistrate Gaurav Rao, who sent him to judicial custody.

Chaudhary agreed before the court to undergo the Test Identification Parade (TIP).

"Accused is produced in muffled face from police custody. Accused is also willing to participate in TIP. Investigating Officer is directed to produce the witness/ victim for TIP on January 4 at 3 pm at Tihar jail.

"However, on the request of the police, the accused is remanded to 14 days of judicial custody. Accused be produced on January 16," the court said.

The police also told the court that they are yet to make more arrests in the case.

The police on December 4, 2012 had arrested five boys, Pulkit Chaudhary, Amandeep, Sharad Shekhar Tomar, Roopansu and Vikas Punia, all Jamia students, after a complaint was lodged at the Defence Colony police station in South Delhi on September 15 by the victim's mother.

The girl's mother had told the police that her daughter, who was studying in class XI, had not returned home after attending her school on September 15.

Initially, a case of kidnapping was registered by the police but after the girl was recovered earlier this month, she deposed that on September 15 she had accompanied her friend Amit Gautam to his flat where she was held captive and gangraped.
