Director-General of Police Praveen Sood said on Saturday the accused were from Tiruppur and frequently visited Mysuru for work. They are laborers, including a driver, carpenter, painter, and others who were doing odd jobs. On August 24, a 23-year-old M B A student, who was with her friend in the Tippayyanakere region in the Lalithadripura area of Mysuru, was allegedly gang-raped by the accused at around 8 pm. Sood said the case was detected solely on technical and scientific evidence from the incident spot. We are yet to collect a statement from the victim, as she is yet to come out of the trauma. Also, we got some details from her male friend, but that was incomplete and did not help much in the investigation,” he said. Sood said the juvenile detained is 17 years old, subject to verification. But in cases of serious nature, those above the age of 16 too will be tried in regular court, said Sood, quoting the change in the definition of juvenile accused after the Delhi 2012 gang rape case. Sood added that there was an attempt by the accused to rob 3 lakh from the victims.
