The police said they have formed a team which is spread across the district in order to arrest the other men seen in the video. The second main accused is identified as another Martin B Sanhave, a local resident of the state.

The woman, who it seems like in her early twenties, is a native from the Garo tribal community in the north-east state. The men thrashed her because she fell in with a man who was not from her own community, people familiar with this matter anyway.
