Uber case: Medical report of girl manipulated, claims accused

The Uber cab driver, accused of raping a 25-year-old woman executive, today claimed before a court here that medical report of the alleged victim had been manipulated and injuries on her were "planted" by the police.
Continuing the final arguments before Additional Sessions Judge Kaveri Baweja, advocate D K Mishra, appearing for 32-year-old accused Shiv Kumar Yadav, said "as per the initial medical examination of the girl, there were no injury marks found on her body. Three doctors had examined her and none opined that she had any injury in her private parts."
"The injuries, were however, brought up in the charge sheet which creates doubt that either the police or the girl, later, planted the injury marks," he said.

Countering his submissions, special public prosecutor Atul Shrivastava said, "The counsel is only trying to linger on and delay the case. Why would a girl plant an injury on herself?"
During the arguments, the defence counsel said that the girl, after her first medical examination, was not given any medication but was taken for further medical tests which creates doubt.
He also claimed that identity of the car, in which the alleged incident took place, was not established and the one recovered by the police was not the offending car.

"Where is the car? Identity of the vehicle is in dispute. The car which has been inspected is not my car," he said.

At the onset of the proceedings, the judge asked Yadav's lawyer how much time he would take to wrap up, to which he replied he doesn't know.
The judge, who is hearing final arguments in the case, then pulled up the counsel saying, "How can you say you don't know? Don't waste my time. I am giving you two days to finish the arguments."
Mentioning about other "discrepancies" in the probe, the counsel argued that there were "unexplained over-writings" in the seized documents.
