Jaipur, Dec 30 (NationPress) In a significant turn of events regarding the Udaipur gang rape case, law enforcement has placed three suspects -- including the CEO of an IT firm -- into judicial custody after concluding their remand period, as confirmed by officials on Tuesday.
This case revolves around the alleged gang rape of a female manager from the IT sector, which reportedly occurred in a moving vehicle within the jurisdiction of the Sukher police station.
As part of the ongoing investigation, authorities have gathered voice samples from all three suspects to authenticate audio recordings retrieved from a dashcam.
Additionally, medical examinations of the two male suspects have been performed and will be cross-referenced with the victim’s medical findings. Investigators have also found the victim’s clothing at the home of one of the accused.
According to the FIR, the incident initiated post a birthday celebration held at a hotel on December 20. The victim indicated that on her way back, smoking paraphernalia was acquired from a shop prior to her being taken home.
Police have interviewed hotel personnel to confirm the party's details and have documented the shopkeeper’s statement to validate the purchase mentioned in the complaint.
Furthermore, two other female staff members who attended the party have been interrogated. Investigators meticulously scrutinized the timeline, distance, and route taken from the hotel to the victim’s drop-off location.
CCTV footage from pertinent areas has been collected and analyzed to substantiate the sequence of events.
During the inquiry, it was disclosed that the suspects, allegedly under the influence of alcohol, first engaged in inappropriate behavior with the victim inside the moving vehicle. When the victim objected and requested to be taken home, her appeals were disregarded.
She was reportedly driven around for nearly three hours, during which the alleged gang rape transpired. In light of these revelations, a case has been initiated against the suspects.
The police have indicated that the investigation is ongoing and further evidence is under review.
