In a crucial development in the Delhi gang-rape case, three arrested accused – Mukesh Singh, Pawan Gupta and Vinay Sharma – confessed to their crime on Wednesday.
The three were produced before a court in Saket today. The court remanded Pawan and Vinay to four-day police custody, while Mukesh was sent to judicial custody for 14 days.
Vinay Sharma confessed to beating up the victim’s male friend and demanded that he be hanged.
“I have committed a horrible crime. I had beaten up the boy. I should be hanged,” Vinay told the court.
Pawan also said he had committed a “heinous act” and was ashamed of himself but refused to undergo an identification parade.
The third accused, Mukesh – who is the brother of main accused Ram Singh – also confessed to the crime and agreed to undergo identification test by the victim’s male friend.
The court said Mukesh would undergo identification test tomorrow at Tihar Jail.
Ram Singh, the driver of the bus, was yesterday sent to five-day police custody.
