Delhi gang rape suspects appear in India court

Five men accused of the abduction, gang rape and murder of a 23-year-old student in Delhi are in court for a preliminary hearing in a case that has shocked India.

Security outside the building is tight. The case is expected to be transferred to a new fast-track court for trial.

The hearing comes as four Indian policemen have been suspended over the handling of another suspected rape and murder case near Delhi.

The woman's body was found on Saturday.

The father of the alleged 21-year-old victim, a factory employee in the Delhi suburb of Noida, has told the BBC she was gang-raped.

He said police initially failed to react when he reported her disappearance, suggesting instead that she had gone off with someone.

The case has triggered protests in Noida.
