The Rachakonda police in Hyderabad arrested five people on Sunday, 29 September, for the alleged gang rape of a tribal woman and for the physical assault of her husband, tied up in an adjacent room, at a poultry farm last week.
The police said that nine other people, the 'village elders' who attempted to coerce the survivor to strike a deal with the alleged rapists and 'settle' the issue, were also arrested.
