A total of 9 arrests have been made so far.
Four more persons have been arrested on Friday in the horrific assault case of the Tanzanian girl in Bengaluru, taking the total number of arrests to nine so far.
However, Bengaluru police Commissioner NS Megharikh said there was still a lot of confusion regarding the case. "The lady said there were 4 people in the car, other friends said there were 5. We are verifying how many were there actually. She also said in her statement that the presence of policemen was found at the spot. Two constables have been suspended, some more action will be taken today. We will not hesitate to act and the enquiry is going on," Megharikh told ANI.
He said that the police has taken the victim's statement and that "there might be confusion here and there, but we don't doubt anything."
Earlier in the day, a team of External Affairs Ministry and the Tanzania ambassador to India John WH Kijazi left for Bengaluru to take stock of the situation. Kijazi had said that 'mob justice' and 'racism' led to the unfortunate incident.
The Tanzanian student was beaten and then stripped by a group of locals in Bengaluru after they assumed she was part of an incident in which a Sudanese man had run over a local woman. The incident took place on Hesaraghatta Road in Bengaluru on Saturday night after a Sudanese national ran his car over a 35-year-old woman resulting in on the spot death of the woman.
The Tanzanian student was travelling in another car, a Wagon-R, along with four others. The young woman, who arrived on the spot around 30 minutes later, was dragged out of the car and paraded naked after being stripped by the mob. The victim told the police in her complaint that when she tried to get on a bus in order to escape the assault, people on the bus pushed her back towards the mob.
