been raped.

The four arrested, who have remanded in judicial custody for 14 days, are demanded to undergo a "fast track" trial as asked by many protesters and politicians.

The four men had allegedly deflated a tyre of the scooter while the victim was not present there and later offered help when she returned to collect it.
