No concert on Dec 16,prosecution shows proof

However,the prosecution submitted a letter issued by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA),which stated that it did not allow such programmes to be held in the district park since it was a protected forest area. Further,the letter mentioned that no one was permitted to enter the district park’s premises after

7 pm during winter and 8 pm during summer. The prosecution also submitted a list of events organised by the church,which according to Vinay,had organised the programme. The list did not mention any music programme held on December 16.

Vinay’s neighbour,who deposed on Thursday,said he had seen Vinay playing an instrument at the programme and that his friend had recorded the prgramme on Vinay’s mobile phone.

“On December 19,I had submitted a letter stating that Vinay had been falsely implicated,to the SHO of Vasant Vihar police station. I also sent a copy to the Deputy Commissioner of Police and another to the Human Rights Commission,” he said.

A copy of the letter,which the neighbour allegedly submitted at the police station,was presented in court. But the prosecution said the letter should be treated as an exhibit,since it did not bear the seal of any government authority.
