Additional Sessions Judge Kaveri Baweja, who had started the trial on January 15, fixed February three to record the statement of the accused driver, 32-year-old Shiv Kumar Yadav.

"Special Public Prosecutor Atul Shrivastava states that all the relevant prosecution witnesses have been examined and no other witness is left to be examined.

"Accordingly, prosecution evidence is closed. Put up the matter for February 3, 2015 for recording of statement of the accused," the judge said.

During the hearing, the IO in her cross examination by Yadav's counsel Aalok Dwivedi denied his suggestion that she has not probed the case properly and fairly.
