Delhi Police have recovered key forensic evidence in the Kashmiri Gate bus gang rape case involving a teenage girl, with fingerprints belonging to the victim and both accused reportedly found inside the bus. The investigation has also revealed that the CCTV camera installed in the bus was switched off when the alleged crime took place.
Incident took place on August 4
The incident dates back to August 4, when the teenage girl reportedly took a lift in the bus from the Pari Chowk area of Noida. She was allegedly sexually assaulted by two men inside the bus.
Following the incident, Delhi Police launched an investigation and carried out a detailed forensic examination of the vehicle.
CCTV camera was switched off
During the investigation, police found that the CCTV camera installed inside the bus was not operational at the time of the incident. As a result, investigators could not recover video footage of what happened inside the vehicle.
Police suspect that the accused were aware that the CCTV camera was switched off and may have taken advantage of the absence of surveillance.
Fingerprints found inside the bus
Despite the lack of CCTV footage, the forensic examination has provided investigators with other evidence.
The forensic team reportedly recovered fingerprints belonging to the teenage victim and both accused from inside the bus. The findings support their presence inside the vehicle at the relevant time.
Police have also seized the clothes of bus driver Kuldeep and conductor Sandeep for forensic examination. Samples have been collected from different parts of the bus, including the seats and steering wheel.
DNA report awaited
The police are now awaiting the DNA report, which is expected to provide further evidence in the case.
Investigators are collecting and analysing the remaining forensic evidence before filing the chargesheet in court. Police officials said the chargesheet will be filed after the necessary evidence and reports are received.
