NEW DELHI: The CBI on Thursday told the Delhi High Court that it has consistent and tangible evidence to establish culpability of Santosh Singh in the sensational Priyardarshini Mattoo rape-cum-murder case.
"Notwithstanding the trial judge citing 14 reasons for acquitting the accused, we have enough material to connect the accused to the crime", Additional Solicitor General Gopal Subrahmaniam told a Division Bench of the Justice R S Sodhi and Justice P K Bhasin.
Subrahmaniam's assertion came during the opening of arguments in the January 23, 1996 alleged rape-cum-murder of Priyadarshini allegedly by Santosh Singh, son of a top IPS officer.
The Bench which heard the brief arguments said it would take up the appeal proceedings on a daily basis from September 5.
