DURGAPURA: The elder sister of the main accused in the alleged gang rape of a medical student in Bengal 's Durgapur on October 10 helped police track down her absconding brother and arrest him early Monday.
Rozina Sk, who said she wanted Safiq Sk to face the law, accompanied a police team to a spot below a bridge in Durgapur where the brother had arrived to meet her and was rounded up. Safiq is a father of two.
Sk Nasiruddin , another suspect whose bike the others had allegedly used to flee the crime scene, was also held Monday. With the two arrests, all five accused in the case are now in custody, police said. The other three - Sk Riyazuddin, Apu Barui and Firdaus Sk - were picked up Sunday. Safiq and Nasiruddin were produced in a local court Monday and remanded in policy custody for nine days.
"I told him he did the right thing by turning himself in. The family should not be shamed because of him. We may be poor but we value self-respect. If he is guilty, he should face the consequences. If not, he will be let off. He had never misbehaved with any woman," Rozina later told TOI at their home in Birja village.
"His wife and children have not done anything wrong. The daily knocks on our doors by police brought disrepute to the family. Not anymore," she added.
