Kochi, October 5 (Daily Kiran) : The Kochi City Police have arrested two individuals in connection with a gang rape case that occurred in Kalamassery, Ernakulam district of Kerala. Police Commissioner S. Kali Raj Mahesh Kumar announced the arrests on Monday, revealing that they are also searching for two other suspects, one of whom is a woman.
The incident reportedly involved a young woman who was allegedly drugged and sexually assaulted after attending a job interview at a spa.

The assaults are said to have occurred on September 2 and 3.
The victim, who resides in Kochi with her husband, is currently receiving medical treatment. The investigation is ongoing, with authorities looking into the possibility of other individuals being involved in this crime and whether similar incidents have occurred in the past.
