Birthday bash, then the rape: Police

When Newsline visited the house of Ram Singh and his brother Mukesh, the room was ransacked. The two-room house of the duo is just a few metres away from Vinay's house. Neighbours said they had seen the duo in the house till noon on Monday.

Neelima, a neighbour, said, "Had we known that the two were involved in the rape case, we would have informed the police."

Also arrested in the case is Pawan alias Kalu who runs a fruit juice shop in RK Puram. Kalu's younger sister blamed Mukesh and another neighbour for the incident. She said Kalu had returned home on Sunday evening when Mukesh and another person, Murari, came to the house and asked him to join them for a birthday treat. "Murari said it was his birthday and took my brother with him. He also returned along with the others around 10.30 pm. The police came to our house on Monday looking for Kalu and later took him away. I do not think my brother could be involved in something as heinous as rape," she said.
