Mumbai, January 13: The 23-year-old US national and student of the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) who was allegedly gangraped is likely to depose against the six accused on January 27.

A fast track court had on January 7 framed charges against the six accused and the prosecution today submitted all the medical and forensic documents that would be produced as evidence.

The prosecution will examine 27 witnesses to establish their case against the accused persons.

The six accused – Vinamra Soni, Harshvardhan Yadav, Jashkaran Bhullar, Anish Borkataki, Dev Colabawala and Kundanraj Borgohain- will face trial under section 376 (g) of IPC which deals with gangrape.

The case dates back to April 2009 when the accused first met the victim at a pub near TISS in suburban Deonar and then took her to Borgohain’s flat in suburban Andheri where they allegedly raped her.
