The Ernakulam Central police on Friday arrested Sanjay, 30, a native of Ernakulam, in connection with the alleged attempt to sexually assault a young woman after holding her male friend at knife point. The arrest was made near the South railway overbridge, a day after two others, Rahul, 39, and Danish, 28, were taken into custody in the same case.
According to the police, the trio attempted to sexually assault the woman on Tuesday inside an abandoned hotel complex opposite the Ernakulam South railway station.
The police had arrested Rahul and Danish on Thursday, and with Sanjay's arrest, all three accused are now in custody.
The case will likely proceed with further investigation and potential charges against the accused; the police are expected to present their findings in court in the coming days.
