The assault took location in May this year.
A disturbing video of the woman’s assault was circulated on social media in which the accused even inserted a bottle in her private components. The 22-year-old lady was later allegedly gangraped.
The rape survivor was allegedly trafficked from Bangladesh by a network of human traffickers active in her nation, Assam, West Bengal, Telangana and Karnataka, 3 years ago, police stated. She was then forced into prostitution by the gang, they added.
The accused allegedly tortured and gangraped her following a economic dispute.
“As per information revealed so far, all of them are part of the same group and believed to be from Bangladesh. Due to financial differences, the culprits brutalised the victim who is also said to be a Bangladeshi, brought to India for human trafficking,” the Bengaluru police had stated in a statement and filed a case against the accused charging them with rape, assault and other sections.
Three of the accused had been shot at and injured by police in the last two months when they allegedly attempted to escape throughout the investigation and arrests.
