Nasrapur Rape Trial: Key Witnesses Testify
30 May
Summary
- Two crucial witnesses supported the 'last seen together' theory.
- Eight prosecution witnesses have testified since the trial began.
- Court to rule on adding evidence obstruction charge on Monday.
The trial for the Nasrapur minor girl rape and murder case is progressing rapidly, with the prosecution having completed the examination-in-chief of two pivotal witnesses on Saturday, May 30, 2026. These witnesses were presented to support the prosecution's 'last seen together' theory against the accused. Since the trial's commencement on Friday, May 29, 2026, a total of eight prosecution witnesses have recorded their depositions. The prosecution has also submitted additional documents and exhibits to the court.
The prosecution is seeking to add Section 238 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, which deals with causing the disappearance of evidence, to the existing charges. The defense counsel has argued against this plea, and the court has adjourned the matter until Monday, June 1, 2026, to hear the conclusion of arguments and deliver an order. The victim's parents were among the six witnesses who testified on the trial's opening day.
