Two of the six Bangladeshis, who were arrested for allegedly being involved in a gang rape case in Bengaluru, were shot by the police on Friday, PTI reports. According to the police statements, the duo tried to escape by allegedly trying to attack personnel during the spot inspection of the crime scene.

“Four men among the arrested were taken to the rented house where they stayed in K Channasandra for the ‘spot mahazar’ (spot inspection of the crime scene), during which two of them tried to attack policemen and escape,” officials said.

Bengaluru police on Thursday arrested six illegal Bangladeshi migrants–four men and two women–in Ramamurthy Nagar for their involvement in a gang rape. The police stumbled upon a video of the incident, which was being widely circulated on social media. “Based on the contents of the video and facts as disclosed during their preliminary interrogation, a case of rape, assault and under other relevant provisions of law, was registered against the accused in Ramamurthy Nagar Police Station, police said in a statement after the arrest.

“As the victim is away in a neighbouring State, a police team has been dispatched to trace her, so that she could join the investigation,” PTI quotes an official’s statement.

“The victim was raped, battered and had a glass bottle shoved into her private parts and all this was recorded by one of the arrested,” the statement further read.

According to the police all of the accused are believed to be a part of the same group.

During the investigation in Bangladesh, one of their accomplices was caught and interrogated.

In the meantime, 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 requesting people to contact them for information regarding the crime or the criminals.

However, the accused were arrested in Bengaluru.

Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa termed the gang rape as an ‘inhuman act’ which no one can tolerate and said, the culprits should be strictly punished and ‘we will ensure that’.
