Danish woman's rape: Delhi court rejects accused's plea

New Delhi, April 22 (IANS) A court here on Friday rejected the plea on one of the accused in the Danish woman's gang rape case for examining doctors on his potency.

Additional Sessions Judge Ramesh Kumar dismissed the application filed by the counsel of Shyam Lal, who died in February in the Tihar jail here. Proceedings against him in the case were abated thereafter.
