The incident occurred on Thursday, the 3rd of this month, around 11 PM when the victim, a college student, was out for a walk with her friend in the Bopdev Ghat area. The three accused threatened the pair with a machete and assaulted them with bamboo sticks. The attackers then tied the male victim with his shirt and belt before sexually assaulting the woman.

Over 300 police officers and personnel from the Crime Branch had been searching for the suspects. More than 200 individuals were questioned in connection with the case, and police had created sketches of two suspects based on information provided by the victim. A reward of Rs. 10 lakh was also announced for anyone providing information leading to the suspects’ arrest.

Investigators analyzed data from 3,000 mobile users who had traveled through the Bopdev Ghat area during the time of the incident and reviewed CCTV footage from the vicinity. Using AI technology and the assistance of private cyber experts, they were able to gather crucial evidence. Despite the extensive search by 60 police teams, the suspects had initially remained at large, but police sources now confirm their detention.
