"We arrested Yogesh and Harish in Udupi and have sent a team to Goa to nab the third accused (Anand)," Udupi Superintendent of Police MB Boralingaiah said.
It is said that Yogish, tried to end life by consuming poison, when the police zoomed in on him. However, he was immediately arrested by the police and shifted to a hospital for treatment.
The Manipal University student was gang-raped around 11:30 pm last Thursday. The incident sent shockwaves across Manipal as no such crime has been reported in the education hub in the past.
The incident occurred when the victim, a fourth year MBBS?student, was walking to her apartment from the university library. Three persons, including an auto driver, dragged her into an autorickshaw, took her to a secluded place and raped her. The miscreants later dropped her back and fled the scene. She managed to reach her apartment with difficulty. Her roommates immediately took her to Kasturba Medical College Hospital.
