New Delhi: The college student allegedly raped by four Presidential Guards on October 17 identified three of the accused during a Test Identification Parade (TIP), police sources said.

The victim recognised Manish, Satinder and Kuldeep during the TIP, they said. Earlier, the victim had identified one of the accused, Harpreet.

The identification of all the four accused by the victim has strengthened the police case. Police is now awaiting a report from the Central Forensic Sciences Laboratory to corroborate the evidence in the sensational case.

On October 8, four Armymen posted as Presidential Guards, allegedly gang-raped a college student in a park in broad daylight after which they were arrested. Manish, Satinder, Kuldeep and Harpreet of the Cavalry unit of the Presidential Guards allegedly committed the crime in Buddha Jayanti Park near Daula Kuan at around noon that day.

While Harpreet was arrested the same day, the three other "sawars" (horsemen) were nabbed on October 16, the sources said.

According to a complaint by the victim, the Jesus and Mary College student had gone to the park along with her friend at around 10:30 hours (IST), the sources said. Soon thereafter, the four accused in Army uniform bearing a tag of Presidential Guards reached there and started teasing the girl.

Irritated by this, the girl and her friend started leaving the park but the foursome prevented them, they said citing the complaint. The accused then allegedly assaulted the girl's friend and raped her, the sources said.

Medical examination conducted on the victim has confirmed the sexual assault, they said.
