MUMBAI: City police commissioner Satya Pal Singh on Friday said the trial against the five accused, who gang-raped a photo journalist, will take place in a fast track court.
The girl, who was reportedly on an assignment for photoshoot at Shakti Mills near Lower Parel on Thursday, was raped by five youths. Her male friend was assaulted by the accused, who tied him to a tree.
"We have formed 20 teams to investigate the case. We will make a watertight case and it will be heard in a fast track court for faster justice," the city police chief said.
The police have so far arrested only one accused while the other four have been identified.
"The arrested accused has confessed to his crime. We will seek maximum punishment for the accused," he added.
According to the commissioner, the accused told the girl and her male colleague that they were on railway property where photography was not allowed.
Suspects first approached victim and her colleague to harass them.
