Less than a month since the gruesome incident, the Mumbai police on Thursday filed a 600-page chargesheet before the Esplanade court against four accused of the gangrape of a 22-year-old photojournalist at Shakti Mills compound.
A separate chargesheet was also filed against the juvenile before a juvenile court.
The accused men have been chargesheeted under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, including 376(d) (gangrape), 377 (unnatural offence), 201 (destruction of evidence), 120(b) (criminal conspiracy) and 34 (common intention) among others.
“A 600-page chargesheet was filed against the four accused — Salim Ansari, Vijay Jadhav, Mohammed Kasim Hafiz Shaikh, alias Kasim Bengali, and Siraj Rehman Khan — before a metropolitan magistrate court while the same copy was also moved before a juvenile court as the fifth accused is a minor,” said joint police commissioner (crime) Himanshu Roy.
