The fourth accused in the Hyderabad gang-rape case has been arrested. "The fifth accused is still absconding," said S. Rajashekhar Reddy, Inspector of Jubilee Hills, heading the investigation.
Two juveniles were apprehended on Saturday in the incident. As one of the teenage boys accused in the incident is alleged to be a son of a leader wielding power, the opposition BJP and Congress stepped up their demand for a CBI probe. The political heat was apparent, with the BJP alleging that the police acted only after TRS leader and Information Technology Minister K.T. Rama Rao said none would be spared and Youth Congress activists staged a protest in front of the DGP office over the 'delay' in police action.
BJP MLA M. Raghunandan Rao, at a press conference, displayed some photographs and alleged that it 'showed' an AIMIM MLA's son's 'involvement' in the case. Out of the five accused already identified, an 18-year old man was arrested on June 3.
