"This man took her to certain areas in the city and later took her to a secluded place where, according to her, he forced himself upon her and raped her," he added.

She later lodged a complaint at the Dudu police station.

"We were on the look out for the main accused who was absconding after the crime. We had announced a reward of Rs.one lakh for anyone providing information leading to his arrest," Jain said.

On Tuesday, police had arrested seven people, including friends and relatives of the main accused, on charges of abetment to crime.
