New Delhi: Two of the six accused, who were arrested on Friday, would be produced in court on Saturday in connection with the Delhi gangrape case. As one of the accused is a minor, he would be produced in a juvenile court. Police have claimed that they would seek maximum punishment for all the accused. Meanwhile, thousands of protesters gathered at India Gate in New Delhi on Saturday morning demanding justice for the victim.
The victim, a 23-year-old paramedical student who was raped in a moving bus in the heart of the national capital, showed mixed response to the treatment and was taken off the ventilator on Friday evening. Furnishing the details of the health condition of the victim, Dr Athani further said that she was conscious and her pulse rate was normal. Also, the platelet count of the victim was stable while her bilirubin and lymphocyte counts had also gone up. Doctors, however, indicated that the next two to three days are critical for the woman.
However, the white blood cell count of the victim had gone down and her liver was not in a good condition, said the doctors treating her at the Safdarjung Hospital. "We are supplying her food through intravenous because of no intestine...Her white blood cell count has really gone down and liver's condition is not good," said Dr Athani.
The police on Friday arrested the last two accused in connection with the case. While one of the accused was arrested from Uttar Pradesh, the other one was caught in Aurangabad in Bihar. The police, however, did not furnish details of one the accused with the police commissioner saying his age had to be verified before giving out any detail.
Amidst these, the Delhi High Court pulled up the police saying it was not satisfied with the investigation report and termed it as being evasive on police officers on duty at the route taken by the bus when crime was committed. Whereas, Union Home Secretary RK Singh lauded the Delhi Police for being quick in probe and said that there was no reason for the police to be defensive. Meanwhile, the Delhi Police said it was confident that it can press for the maximum punishment for all the accused.
