Bengaluru: Six persons, two of them women, have been arrested in Bengaluru in a case involving the rape and torture of a woman.
A gut-wrenching video of the attack, which was circulated on social media allegedly by the suspects, has generated immense outrage.
In a statement, the Bengaluru police said, “On the basis of the contents of the video clip and facts as disclosed during the interrogation of the accused persons, a case of rape, assault and other relevant provisions of the law, has been generated against the accused.”
They added: “As per information revealed so far, all of them are part of the same group and believed to be from Bangladesh. Due to financial differences, the culprits brutalised the victim who is also said to be a Bangladeshi, brought to India for human trafficking.”
The police said the woman is currently in another state and a team has been sent to fetch her. Once she is back, her statement will be recorded before a magistrate.
Meanwhile, three teams headed by three Inspectors have been formed to investigate this case.
