In a fresh twist to the case of a JNU student alleging that she was drugged and raped by a cab driver late last Friday, the police said that they have found CCTV footage in which the woman can purportedly be seen leaving the campus the time she said the crime took place.
The woman, pursuing a foreign language course in Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), had alleged that the crime took place while she was returning to the campus on Friday night, police said on Monday.
The police, who had said that there were several inconsistencies in the victim’s statement and that no injury marks were found on her body, had faced criticism for not handling the case properly. On Wednesday, the Delhi Commission for Women issued a notice to the police, asking them to share the details of the investigation.
Police sources now said that footage of the woman moving out of the JNU campus at around 1 a.m. on Saturday – when she said the crime took place – had been found, while locals have also claimed that she was roaming around barefoot and creating a scene at the time on the road near the campus.
