The four policemen had also collected the clothes of the five accused bus driver Ram Singh and his brother Mukesh, Pawan Gupta, Vinay Sharma, Akshay Singh and the juvenile. The case against the five accused is being heard on a daily basis in the fast-track court from which the media and public have been barred.
