Siraj Rehman Khan, who was supposed to be in the custody of the Thane Jail authorities, is reportedly missing. The jail authorities informed the court today that he is not in their custody.
This comes days after the Mumbai Police filed a charge sheet on Thursday against the five accused.
Salim Ansari, Vijay Jadhav, Kasim Bengali and a minor are the four others accused of raping the 22-year-old girl inside the desolate Shakti Mills compound on August 22 while she was on an assignment with a colleague.
The police had arrested all the accused in less than 72 hours after the crime, which outraged the nation and had disturbing parallels to the Delhi gang-rape.
