Deposing as a prosecution witness, Shivji Singh, who was working as a gardener with Indian Railways, told Additional Sessions Judge Kaveri Baweja that he had seen all the accused sitting with the woman in a park and at that time, one of them was raping her.
Singh deposed that on the evening of January 14, 2014, when he returned to her room and started preparing food, he heard a voice which appeared to be an alarm raised by a woman and found that it was coming from a temple in the park.
Singh, whose statement remained inconclusive today and would continue tomorrow, said the accused saw him and showed him the knife with a gesture that he would be killed after which he became frightened and returned to him room.
The witnesses identified the six men in the court and said they were ruffians who resided in the area and used to commit petty offences.
