Hyderabad: The city police on Thursday began questioning the only major accused in Jubilee Hills minor gangrape case after taking him into custody from
Chanchalguda
central prison.
Meanwhile, the
Juvenile Justice Board
(JJB) on Thursday granted five-day police custody of three juveniles arrested in the case. The police will begin questioning them from Friday.
"We will take them into custody on Friday. We also moved a petition seeking custody of two other accused. That's being heard," said a cop.
The 18-year-old accused was questioned by the investigating officer
M Sudarshan
and additional
DCP
(West Zone)
Iqbal Siddiqui at Jubilee Hills police station. Sources revealed that the first day of questioning focused about the sequence of events on the day of the offence.
"The accused was asked about what happened inside the pub and later during the night. He answered most of the questions and said that one of the minors was the main accused as he was the one who instigated others to commit the heinous offence," said a cop.
Police have three more days to question the accused and are also planning to recreate the scene of crime as part of the investigations.
