A Delhi court on Tuesday sent the four arrested accused in Delhi gang rape case to five-days of police remand.

Delhi Police claimed to have solved the case with the arrest of these four people who allegedly gang-raped and brutally assaulted a 23-year-old paramedical student in a moving bus in the capital two days ago.

Delhi Police Commissioner Neeraj Kumar said at a press conference that they would seek a fast-track trial for speedy punishment in the case.

Ram Singh, the bus driver, his brother Mukesh, Vinay Sharma, an assistant gym instructor and Pawan Gupta, a fruit seller have been arrested as the prime accused in the case.

The 23-year-old victim was raped on Sunday night on a private chartered bus at about 9.30 pm. The men then hit her repeatedly with an iron rod; a male friend who was escorting her home and tried to intervene was also assaulted.

The victim is still fighting for her life and is on ventilator support.
