On the victim's friend allegation that they could have been taken to a nearby hospital, instead of Safdarjang Hospital, Gogia said the police always take the injured in such cases to a designated government hospital for medico-legal examination.
Gogia also clarified that they were not seeking appreciation or praise. "We performed our duty and conveyed the information," said Gogia.
But the brother of the dead woman also said that his sister would have probably lived if proper medical care was given to her on time.
"She lost too much blood lying on the roadside. If she had got good medical care on time she would have perhaps been with us today," her brother told IANS over phone from Ballia in Uttar Pradesh.
"There was a gap of nearly two hours from the time my sister was thrown on the roadside till she received medical aid at Safdarjung Hospital," he added.
After the sensational interview of the gang-rape victim's friend, Delhi Police slapped a case against Zee TV under 228 (A) of the Indian Penal Code. It pertains to the disclosure of the identity of a victim of certain offences, including rape.
The police action against the channel led to furore.
