New Delhi: Delhi Police have called Zee News editors for questioning at Vasant Vihar police station after a case under Indian Penal Code Section 228 (A) was registered on Saturday night for revealing the identity of a key witness and the Delhi braveheart's friend in an interview. The male friend of the 23-year-old Delhi braveheart is the sole witness in the brutal gangrape and assault of the girl, who later died due to the injuries inflicted on her by the six accused.
In the interview, the young man opened up about the incident. He criticised the police and passersby for their indifference and delay. He said that no passerby came forward to help them after they were thrown out of the bus for about 25 minutes.
He also alleged that three police vans arrived after 45 minutes and wasted crucial time in deciding the territorial jurisdiction of the police station under which the case falls.
However, Delhi Police on Thursday denied allegations made by the male friend of the Delhi braveheart in a television interview. Delhi Police Joint Commissioner Vivek Gogia said that there was no jurisdiction squabble as the sole witness of the case had claimed.
"Whatever police (PCR van) could arrange at that point of time was provided. Bear in mind that the victim was transported to the hospital in 16 minutes," Joint Commissioner of Police Vivek Gogia said. "PCR vans are not within jurisdiction of police stations and are separately controlled by the Police Control Room."
