GURGAON: Four gang members allegedly involved in the Mandpura rape case, who confessed to several other heinous crimes, were taken by the Gurgaon police to around 10 crime spots in Gurgaon, Mewat and Jhajjar districts for identifica­tion (Nishandehi), and to enact the crime in some cases.

This was done to ensure that they were speaking the truth in their confession statements.

The four have been identified as Dharmu alias Lucky (20) and Munna alias Ayaan (20) of Najafgarh, Delhi, Lambu alias Tulli (31) of Ballabhgar­h, Haryana, and Rajbir alias Nahar Singh (20), of Jhajjar district in Haryana.

Their five accomplice­s were also arrested last month from different places.

They were identified as Naresh, Raka and Sunil Kumar who all hail from Farrukhaba­d, Ajay from Rewari, and Jai Bhagwan from Jhajjar.

The four were taken to Dingarheri, Bhangrola, Khandewala, Manesar and Farrukhnag­ar where they had confessed to committing the criminal acts, said the police.

Informatio­n given by the accused in their confession­s, police said, confirms their involvemen­t in the cases. In fact, in the Dingarheri case, the criminals took the police to the village and also identified the house where they had raped a woman a minor girl and killed a couple on the night of August 24, 2016.

A police officer associated with the investigat­ion said, “They told us how they entered the house where they spotted the victims. The places where the victims were hit, and the exact spots where the rapes took place. It is not possible for a person who is not present at the scene to describe it like they did.”

However, as the Dingarheri rape and murder case is being investigat­ed by the CBI, the police could not enact the crime and it is likely that the CBI, which is going to seek the four on production warrant, might get it done.
