“The victim was being raped, battered and had a glass bottle shoved into her private parts and all this was visible only because one of those monsters was recording the whole thing,” a source told PTI.
The video believed to have been shot months ago surfaced in Bangladesh for the first time after which the Deputy Commissioner of Tejgaon zone of Dhaka Metropolitan Police, Mohammad Sahidulla took up the case, sources said.
During the investigation in Bangladesh, one of their accomplices was caught and interrogated. He told the local police that the video was shot somewhere in India. Meanwhile, the Assam police too stumbled upon the video. Believing that it was somewhere in Assam, the police posted the photographs of the culprits on their Twitter handle with a message.
“These images are of 5 culprits who are seen brutally torturing & violating a young girl in a viral video. The time or place of this incident is not clear. Anyone with information regarding this crime or the criminals may please contact us. They will be rewarded handsomely”, read the message.
The police across the country was alerted and finally they were all arrested at Ramamurthy Nagar in Bengaluru.
