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.
