Durgapur Medical Student Identifies Accused in Court-Ordered TI Parade

A court-ordered, video-recorded identification will now go to the Durgapur court for the next hearing.

Overview

  • The survivor took part in a magistrate-supervised lineup at Durgapur Correctional Home where five of six arrested men were presented, with her classmate excluded because he is known to her.
  • Police sources said she identified the principal assailant and picked out the remaining accused, describing the roles each allegedly played on October 10.
  • Additional Magistrate Rajib Sarkar oversaw the process, the exercise was videographed, and the survivor later gave her statement before a magistrate.
  • The identification report is set to be filed in court on October 27 as investigators continue the case and the accused remain in custody after earlier bail denials.
  • Two accused, Sk Riyazuddin and Sk Safiq, have previously confessed before a magistrate, while police have indicated medical findings point to a single physical assailant, a claim at odds with the survivor's account.
