CHANDIGARH: During the ongoing trial in Pathankot , one of the accused in the Kathua rape and murder case on Wednesday alleged that the prosecution agency of the Jammu & Kashmir police had “improved” certain facts of the chargesheet after translating it from Urdu into English.

The counsel for the accused, advocate AK Sawhney, moved an application before the district and sessions judge, Tejwinder Singh on Wednesday, alleging contradictions in the facts mentioned in the original record of the case and the English translation provided to the trial court in Pathankot.

According to Sawhney, initially there was one mistake in the translated version, which the prosecution termed as “typographical” and rectified that error. However, the corrected copy of the record contained more factual errors, he added.

The trial court will hear the arguments of both the parties on the issue on Thursday.
