Five men accused of the gang-rape and murder of an Indian student appeared in court today to hear charges against them.
Two of them offered evidence possibly in return for a lighter sentence in the case that has led to a global outcry.
The five men, along with a teenager, are accused of raping a 23-year-old physiotherapy student on a bus in New Delhi.
She died two weeks later on 28 December in a Singapore hospital.
Television images showed the blue police van believed to be transporting the suspects from Tihar jail as it arrived at the court gate prior to the hearing.
Public prosecutor in the case, Rajiv Mohan, said that two of the accused, Vinay Sharma and Pawan Gupta, moved an application on Saturday requesting they be made "approvers", or informers against the other accused.
The attack has provoked calls for reforms of laws and policing, and a continuing debate on attitudes towards women.
The accused, aged between 19 and 35, face the death penalty if convicted.
A youth alleged to have taken part in the assault will be tried separately in a juvenile court.
