South African rape victim identifies accused

The South African model, who was allegedly raped in a hotel in Mumbai, Thursday identified before a magistrate the two accused who had allegedly sexually assaulted her, police said.

She pinpointed accused Suresh Krishnani and Sunil Morpani among several persons lined up during the identification parade conducted by police in central prison at Arthur Road in Mumbai, Assistant Commissioner of Police Pralhad Sonawane told PTI.

Police sources said identification of the accused was a major step towards charge-sheeting those involved in the crime.
