Hyderabad: The Hyderabad police on Sunday took the six accused involved in the gang rape of a 17-year-old girl, to several locations in the city's Jubilee Hills and Banjara Hills areas for crime scene reconstruction. The investigators brought the accused to Amnesia Pub on Jubilee Hills Road Number 36, where the accused and the victim had attended a day party before the crime. The police also took them to Consu Bakery where the accused had disembarked from their Mercedes and boarded the Toyota Innova. Meanwhile, the five accused who allegedly gang-raped the girl were subjected to a potency test at the Osmania Hospital. Potency test is conducted to prove that an accused is sexually competent.
