Patna, Aug 8
In a swift operation, Patna police have arrested two men accused of raping a Nepalese woman in a private bus on August 4.
The accused, identified as Kartik Rai and Sunil Kumar, were caught in different locations after fleeing the city.
Patna Central SP Diksha said the main accused, Kartik Rai, was attempting to escape to West Bengal when he was apprehended from a train near Barauni.
The FIR states that Kartik regularly transported jawans from BMP-1 to Gandhi Maidan and often asked the victim to wait near Gate No. 5, keeping her phone and money with him.
The victim was seen crying near the gate by shopkeepers and jawans from the Gorkha Regiment.
They informed Gorkha Samaj Samiti president Suraj Thapa, who took her to Kaushal Nagar and helped her contact the police.
Police said further investigation is underway to determine if others were involved.
Sunil played a role in providing logistics to the main accused.
