| About 24 hours after they made their first arrest in the brutal gang-rape of a 22-year-old photojournalist, the Mumbai Police arrested a second man early today. (Your comments)
A massive manhunt has been launched to arrest three more men in the case, which has sparked a wave of angry protests.
Accused Vijay Jadhav was picked up from the Madanpura area by the Crime branch. The police had yesterday arrested 19-year-old Chand Babu Sattat Shaikh alias Mohammed Abdul. The unemployed man, who lives in a slum cluster close to the Shakti Mills compound where the woman was raped, has named Jadhav and three others - Qasim Bengali, Saleem and Ashfaq-- as his accomplices, police said
Of the five accused, three men - Chand Babu Sattat Shaikh, Qasim Bengali and Vijay Jadhav - have previously been booked and jailed for various criminal offences like house breaking, dacoity, robbery and assault. They were however released on bail.
Police sources say mobile phone records of all the five accused show they were present at the scene of crime on Thursday evening.
According to Mumbai Police Commissioner Satyapal Singh, more than 20 teams, including 10 from the elite Crime Branch, have been set up to track down the perpetrators amid mounting public pressure and anger. The 22-year-old has reportedly told the police in her statement that she will get "some sense of justice" if all the accused are arrested.
Mr Singh yesterday said police was trying to gather "clinching evidence" to ensure that the culprits get maximum punishment for the "shocking crime".
The photojournalist, an intern with an English magazine, was gang-raped by five men on Thursday evening when she and her male colleague went to the deserted Shakti Mills compound in Lower Parel area to click photographs of the decrepit old buildings there. (Sequence of events)
The five accused, whose sketches were released yesterday, tied up the victim's friend and raped the woman in a chilling reminder of the December 16 gang-ra
