In files obtained by The Times, it was revealed that the five men on trial took the victim’s clothes and burned them to warm up before dividing the belongings of the victim and her male friend. They then tried to destroy the evidence by cleaning up the bus and hiding their own clothes.

On Wednesday, opening arguments by the prosecution lawyers took place at a courtroom that was closed to the public and media in a special fast-track court set up just weeks ago to handle sexual assault cases. Two men in the case are expected to plead not guilty to all charges against them, while a sixth suspect will be tried in a juvenile court.

The accused face a maximum sentence of death by hanging if convicted.

According to the Daily Mail:

The documents reveal how police tracked down the bus on which the attack took place after detectives spotted it on an airport hotel’s CCTV, speeding away from where the victim and her male friend were dumped.

Testimonies from two rickshaw drivers allege that the attackers burned the victims’ clothes in a bonfire lit close to where the bus was parked.

The police papers say that despite the attackers’ efforts to clean the bus, substantial blood stains remained and further DNA evidence was obtained when detectives found bundled clothing worn by the men on the night of the attack, along with clumps of the victim’s hair.
