Final arguments resumed in Uber rape case

Accused Shiv Kumar Yadav's counsel, Dharmender Mishra told Additional Sessions Judge Kaveri Baweja that Delhi Police has planted a false case against his client.

The counsel also claimed that Yadav was not with the woman when the alleged incident took place.

Final argument will be continue on Saturday.

The argument was resumed after the Supreme Court set aside the Delhi High Court order permitting the recall and re-examination of 13 witnesses including the victim in the rape case.

According to police, the woman executive was allegedly raped by Yadav on the night of December 5, 2014, in the cab she hired to head back home in north Delhi's Inderlok area. The accused drove the woman to an isolated place and allegedly raped her.

The court had on January 13 framed charges of rape, causing grievous bodily harm and endangering the life of a woman, besides other, against Yadav under various sections of the Indian Penal Code.
