One of the accused in the December 16 gangrape case today interfered during the recording of statements of defence witnesses in a special court saying "he has been falsely implicated by the Delhi police".
The incident occurred during the recording of the statement of accused Akshay Thakur's wife when he stood up from his seat and said the court should believe her testimony regarding his presence at his native village in Bihar on the fateful night.
Akshay also interrupted when the prosecution asked some questions to his wife regarding their stay since marriage in 2010 saying the police have nothing to do with it and they should specifically ask where he was on December 16 night.
At this juncture, the court got annoyed and asked Akshay to keep quite and not to interfere during the proceedings.
"At this stage, accused Akshay started interfering in the recording of the evidence and is trying to give answers. He was directed not to do so again," Additional Sessions Judge Yogesh Khanna said.
Akshay was warned even by his counsel A P Singh who told him that if he would interfere in the proceedings, then he would walk out of the court room.
