The six accused - Vinamra Soni, Anish Borkataki, Kundanraj Borgohain, Harshavardhan Yadav, Jasakaran Bhullar and Dev Colabawalla - were arrested for raping a 23-year-old US national, a student of the Tata Institute of Social Science (TISS) last month.

One of the accused asked the court when would the police file the chargesheet in the case and if they can move for bail.

Magistrate SR Navander told the accused that the prosecution can file the chargesheet at anytime within the 90 days period and that he can move the sessions court for bail.

The prosecution informed the court that the victim and other witnesses in the case had identified all the accused in the identification parade held on May 5 inside the Thane prison.
