Out of the five accused already identified, a 18-year old man was arrested on June 3 and in total 3 persons, including 2 juveniles, have been apprehended so far in the case, they said.
The two juveniles would be produced before a juvenile court for their safe custody, police said in an official release. Amid allegations of involvement of kin of some political bigwigs in the teenage girl rape case, pressure mounted on Saturday on the state government to act swiftly with the Bharatiya Janata Party demanding a Central Bureau of Investigation probe and the Congress an all party meeting.
While Telangana BJP president and MP, Bandi Sanjay Kumar in an open letter to Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao demanded a CBI probe to bring to book the culprits, opposition parties and women’s rights organisations are gearing up to corner the government on the gang rape case. Citing media reports, the BJP has already alleged involvement of kin of politically influential persons belonging to the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen, a friendly party of the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi.
