Six people arrested; two of the accused shot at during crime scene reconstruction
The Bengaluru City Police have traced the woman from Bangladesh, who was tortured and sexually assaulted, to Kerala and brought her back to the city on Friday. Special teams had been formed to find her after a video clip of the incident, which happened in Bengaluru, went viral on social media. Six people — four men and two women — have been arrested. The young woman, believed to be in her 20s, had not only been tortured and raped, but was also being blackmailed by the gang who threatened to upload the video on social media if she did not pay them, said senior police officials. The victim, who was reportedly running a massage parlour in Kozhikode, underwent a medical examination in the city on Friday night. The police are yet to question her, sources said.More Related News
