Delhi gang rape suspects appear in India court

Five men accused of the abduction, gang rape and murder of a 23-year-old woman in Delhi have been remanded in custody after a preliminary hearing in a case that has shocked India.

The judge ordered a closed hearing after chaotic scenes in open court.

The case is expected to be transferred to a new fast-track court for trial.

It comes as four policemen have been suspended over the handling of another suspected rape and murder case in Delhi over the weekend.

The father of a 21-year-old woman whose body was found on Saturday 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 the Delhi suburb of Noida, where the woman was employed in a factory.

Two men have been arrested and a third suspect is reported to have fled.
