As the outrage across the country grew over torture and rape of a 23-year-old physiotherapist, the Delhi police detained the fifth accused in the heinous incident in a late night raid on Thursday.
Yesterday the police detained the fifth accused, named Raju, in Badaun, Uttar Pradesh.
Five days ago the girl was tortured and raped here by a gang of six men here in Delhi.
As angry protests continued for the third day on Thursday in the national capital and in other cities, investigators had doubled their efforts to nab the two accused. One accused is still at large.
According to the investigators four men, who were arrested earlier for the horrific crime that shook the nation, have, however, not shown any remorse.
On Sunday night the savage rape and torture occurred when the woman and her male friend boarded a private bus, used for ferrying school children, in south Delhi after watching a movie.
Her friend on Thursday identified one of the accused Mukesh, younger brother of main accused Ram Singh, as one of the men involved in the gruesome attack.
