7 arrested for gangrape of National Law School student

Bangalore: The Bangalore police have arrested a total of seven men in connection with the gangrape of a 21-year-old student of the National Law School. The victim was allegedly raped by a group of eight men inside the adjacent Jnanbharathi campus of Bangalore University.

While one of the accused was shot in the leg when the police tried to nab him, another went absconding.

The second-year student, staying in the university hostel, in her police complaint said the incident took place when she had gone out with her boy-friend, who works with an IT firm here.

When they were walking in the wooded area of the campus, the group of inebriated men attacked them and forcibly took them into deep forest, she alleged in her complaint.
