The male friend of Girl who was tortured and raped in a running bus, has identified one of the accused as the rapist during a test\u00a0identification parade\u00a0(TIP)\u00a0held in Tihar Jail.<\/p>\n
Mukesh, a driver-cum cleaner and brother of\u00a0Ram Singh, one of the co-accused of the gang-rape case, was identified as the rapist by the 28-year-old man, who was also beaten up by the attackers.<\/p>\n
A senior\u00a0police officer said,\u00a0“The man identified\u00a0Mukesh\u00a0as one of the rapists and told police that the accused was one of those who raped and brutally beat up his friend.”<\/p>\n
After confessing his crime before Saket court Wednesday, Mukesh had agreed to undergo an identification parade – in which an alleged offender is brought before witnesses and victims. The court had fixed the\u00a0identification exercise\u00a0for Thursday.<\/p>\n
Mukesh,\u00a0Vinay Sharma, 20, an assistant gym instructor, and\u00a0Pawan Gupta, 19, a fruit seller, were presented in the Saket court Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Sharma told the court that he had beaten up the gang-rape victim’s male friend but did nothing with the girl and told Metropolitan Magistrate Sandeep Garg: “Hang me!”<\/p>\n
According to him,\u00a0“I have committed a horrible crime. I had beaten up the boy. I should be hanged.”<\/p>\n
Gupta also had admitted to having “wronged” the woman but did not admit to raping her.<\/p>\n
Metropolitan Magistrate Namrita Agarwal had sent Gupta and Sharma to four days’ police custody. Mukesh was sent to Tihar Jail on 14 days’ custody.<\/p>\n
Gupta had told the court that he did not want to undergo the identification exercise as he had committed a “horrible act”.<\/p>\n
Bus driver Ram Singh, who was Tuesday sent to police remand till Dec 23, had refused to undergo the identification parade.<\/p>\n
The savage rape and torture occurred Sunday night when the woman and her male friend boarded a private bus, used for ferrying school children, in south Delhi after watching a movie.<\/p>\n
