The GRP team investigating the gang rape case on Wednesday recovered the clothes the accused were wearing at the time of the incident from their shanties. The police have also collected samples of soil, water and bushes from the spot.  Investigating Officer of SIT SHO GRP Bhopal Hemant Shrivastava said that investigation is going on and the team is visiting the spot and collecting evidence as required and it would again visit the crime spot to collect more evidence if needed.

He said that when the accused confronted each other they tried to shift blame. On Wednesday IG (Railways) DP Gupta and SP (Railways) Ruchi Wardhan Mishra quizzed the gang rape accused.

The DNA test of all the four offenders has been conducted. During the investigation, identification documents of two of the accused could not be found and would be verified before producing in the court.

The gang rape accused denied recognizing each other initially when they were confronted and later when they were grilled they accepted to have committed the crime.

Police have found that the accused Golu and Amar had kidnapped and raped the victim and later asked Rajesh and Ramesh to provide a clothe from their shanties. The two provided a shirt and also sexually assaulted the victim.
