Continuing final arguments, the prosecutor representing the police submitted that there was ample evidence to show that the 25-year-old woman was not a consenting party to the sexual acts of 32-year-old Shiv Kumar Yadav as several injuries were found on her body.
"The oral testimony of the woman regarding her injuries finds corroboration with medical evidence. The accused had raped her and also tried to commit unnatural sex with her.
The prosecutor said that Yadav has "miserably failed" to bring anything against the forensic evidence.
He argued that the doctors who had examined the victim after the incident also testified that she was raped and there was an attempt to strangulate her.

"There is sufficient evidence on record to convict Yadav for charges framed against him. Prosecution has been able to prove charges for the offences of Sections 376(2)(m), 366, 506 and 323 of the IPC. None of the witnesses have turned hostile," Shrivastava said while concluding the prosecution's final arguments.
The court on January 13 had framed charges against Yadav under various sections of the Indian Penal Code for alleged offences of endangering a woman's life while raping her, abducting with an intent to compel her for marriage, criminally intimidating and causing hurt.
If convicted in the case, Yadav faces a maximum of life imprisonment as punishment.
