Two of the four death row convicts in the December 16 gang rape case today moved a Delhi court seeking permission for undergoing polygraph test in the trial of a robbery case against them.

Akshay Thakur and Vinay Sharma are also facing trial for allegedly  beating up and robbing a carpenter, Ram Adhar, before raping and assaulting a 23-year-old girl in a moving bus in south Delhi on December 16, last year.

Additional Sessions Judge Daya Prakash fixed the plea for January 10 for consideration. Akshay and Vinay alleged in their application that the whole prosecution story was baseless as there was no public witness and no cause of action and reason for indulging in such an offence.
