Bombay High Court on Saturday rejected the bail application filed by Purshottam Borate, 26, the driver accused of raping and murdering a Wipro call centre employee in Pune on November 1, 2007.
On Saturday, additional public prosecutor Swapnil Pednekar submitted a chart of events that took place before and after the murder of 22-year-old Jyoti Chaudhry.
Chaudhry was allegedly raped and then the accused slashed her veins, strangulated her with a dupatta and smashed her head with a stone.
Borate and another man working for a logistics company that supplied vehicles to Spectramind, the call centre, were arrested by the police on November 3, 2007. Borate had sought bail on the grounds that the post-mortem reports indicated that there was no rape and he was falsely implicated in the case.
Justice VM Kanade, however, concluded that there was enough evidence against Borate as Chaudhry’s belongings - gold ornaments, wrist watch and mobile phone - were recovered from him.
