Delhi gang rape: Police dismiss reports that murder charge not in chargesheet

NEW DELHI: Delhi Police today denied reports that murder charge had not been incorporated in the chargesheet of the gangrape case of a 23-year-old girl.

"This is an absolute lie and an attempt to create a sensation out of nothing. Section 302 of IPC is very much in the chargesheet," Delhi Police Commissioner Neeraj Kumar told PTI.

Metropolitan Magistrate Namrita Aggarwal took cognisance of the chargesheet saying a case of various offences, including those of murder and gangrape, are made out against the accused and issued warrants for production of the accused on Monday.

"I have perused the chargesheet and other documents. Prima facie offences under sections, 302 (murder), 307 (attempt to murder), 376 (2)(g) (gangrape), 377 (unnatural offences), 395 (dacoity), 396 (murder in dacoity), 394 (hurting in dacoity), 201 (destruction of evidence), 120-B (conspiracy), 34 (common intention) and 412 (dishonestly receiving stolen property) of the IPC are made out against all the accused," the metropolitan magistrate said.
