Robbery case: court to record statement of accused on Mar 7

A Delhi court today fixed March 7 for recording the statements of the four death row convicts in the December 16 gangrape case who are facing trial for their alleged involvement in a robbery case.
Additional Sessions Judge Daya Prakash, who was scheduled to start the recording of the statements of the accused today, posted it for March 7 as the questions to be asked from them were not ready.
During the hearing, accused Vinay Sharma, through his counsel A P Singh, moved a plea seeking the court's permission for appearing in an examination on March 9 for government job as a lower divisional clerk (LDC). The court has allowed his plea.

Earlier, the court had concluded recording of prosecution evidence in the robbery case in which four accused Akshay Thakur, Vinay Sharma, Mukesh and Pawan Gupta are facing trial.
During the trial, the court had recorded the statements of 37 prosecution witnesses, including a carpenter, Ram Adhar, who was allegedly beaten up and robbed by the accused.
The accused are facing trial for allegedly beating up and robbing Ram Adhar before raping and assaulting a 23-year-old girl in a moving bus in south Delhi on December 16, 2012.
