Manipal (Karnataka): Police yesterday intensified search for the three men, accused of gang raping a 22-year-old medical science student, even as hundreds of college students demonstrated here seeking safety for girls and security in the Manipal University campus.
“We have intensified the search to track the culprits and locate the auto-rickshaw in which the victim was abducted late Thursday and driven to a secluded spot to commit the crime. We have also interrogated some locals for clues though no one had been detained or arrested,” Udupi Superintendent of Police M
B Boralingaiah told IANS.
A major educational centre, Manipal is 5 km from the famous Udupi temple town on the west coast of the state and about 410 km from Bangalore.
With pressure mounting to hunt down the accused, the district police formed four more teams to crack the case and sent a couple of them to Udupi and Mangalore, 60 km from here, to coordinate the probe. IANS
