A test identification parade would be held by the Kolkata Police for the Japanese tourist, who was allegedly confined and gangraped for over a month in Bihar’s Gaya district.
A top police official said on Sunday that five persons were arrested in connection with the gangrape — three here in the city and two in Gaya. First to be arrested after the woman filed a complaint with the Park Street police station on December 26 was Wasim Khan, who was picked up from Kolkata, Special Commissioner (Crime) of Kolkata Police, Pallab Kanti Ghosh said. Wasim, who spoke Japanese fluently, befriended the Japanese woman on November 20 and accompanied her to Gaya.
In Gaya, Wasim molested the tourist and took away Rs76,000 from her bank account before handing her over to siblings Javed Khan and Sajid Khan, who raped her repeatedly since November 26 to the end of December, Ghosh said. "Wasim molested her and took Rs76,000 from her bank account before handing her over to the duo. At Gaya the brothers confined her since November 26 till the end of December and repeatedly gangraped her," according to Ghosh.
