Dismissing the appeal filed by the convict Siddhartha, the high court said the prosecution has proved beyond reasonable doubt the chain of events which unerringly point towards his guilt. It said the forensic report proves the presence of the convict at the scene of the crime and also connects him to the crime.

"All the above incriminating facts and circumstances, unerringly pointing towards the rape and killing of the deceased by the appellant/accused (man) and juvenile, were put to the appellant while recording his statement under Section 313 CrPC. Thus, we find no merit in the appellant's contention that it was not put to the appellant that he along with the juvenile committed rape and murder of the prosecutrix/deceased,” the high court said.
