Police in India’s Bengaluru arrested five Bangladeshis - four men and a woman - for allegedly raping and torturing a woman believed to be from Bangladesh.
The arrests were made on late Thursday evening, hours after Assam Police shared visuals from a video circulating on social media to trace the accused, reports the Hindustan Times.
The video showed five people, including the woman, subjecting another woman to physical abuse and torture. Bengaluru City Police promptly traced and arrested them.
According to the report, the accused and victim are Bangladeshis.
“As per the information revealed so far, all of them are part of the same group and believed to be from Bangladesh,” Bengaluru police Commissioner Kamal Pant told Hindustan Times.
Due to financial disputes, the culprits brutalised the victim, who is also said to be a Bangladeshi, brought to India for human trafficking, he said.
Police have launched an investigation into the incident.
