The girl of Kerala origin is a fourth year MBBS student of Manipal University. It was on the night of June 20, that she was kidnapped by three autorickshaw bound assailants while she was on way home from the University library. The trio had taken her to an isolated location at Onthibettu where they gang raped her and finally dropped her back near her residence.

In dramatic developments later on, the cops were successful in arresting all the three accused, with two of them however attempting suicide prior to their arrest. If the main accused Yogish who attempted suicide is still in hospital, the other two Anand and Hariprasad have been  remanded to judicial custody. Anand who had tried to hang himself has recovered. The elder brothers of Hariprasad and Yogish have also been arrested for helping the accused destroy evidence.

Meanwhile, the victim had recently given her statement to the police on condition of confidentiality. She is expected to identify the accused and give her statement so that police can file a charge sheet in the case.
