Delhi rape case: Five accused plead not guilty
World
Five men have pleaded not guilty to the rape and murder of a female student in a Delhi bus in December, one of the men's lawyers has said.
The men signed statements to say they were innocent after being formally charged in a fast-track court.
The court will begin hearing evidence from witnesses on Tuesday.
The brutal gang-rape caused outrage across the country, sparking nationwide protests and calls for the death penalty for rapists.
A sixth suspect is to be tried in a juvenile court.
Prosecutors are expected to call three witnesses at the start of the trial.
They say they have strong evidence against the five, including DNA and phone records.
On Friday, India's cabinet approved most of the recommendations of a commission set up to review sex crime laws after the case came to light.
