The arrested are Reshma alias Neema, a Beedi roller, Zeenath who works for an insurance company, Iqbal and Abdul Khader Naseef, who work as drivers.
Reshma and Zeenath contacted the victim on January 14. The victim who runs a transport business, was later invited to a house where Iqbal and Naseef assaulted and threatened the victim of filing a rape case against him.
