Agreed.
It goes further than that , to get
all the charges to fit to Kohli then
stranger rape is the required scenario.
What evidence that was disclosed
to the Indian court system, fitted the
scenario that she was with someone she knew,
not some middle aged Sikh stranger.
She had consensual sex , comfortable
enough with whoever she was with to be
able to use her (unsnatched) mobile phone and relay
info that someone in an abduction situation would
not do. Also she disappeared from a quiet highly
residential street - abducted or just invited into
a vehicle ?
