However, the prime suspect Sandeep Deswal has not been arrested even after completion of one week.

Police arrested Sandeep's father Azad Deswal, on September 25 on the charges of sheltering the perpetrators of gangrape, but police have not been able to catch the real accused so far.

The 32-year-old victim told media persons on September 27, that she had been receiving threatening calls from Sandeep Deswal and his family members to settle the dispute outside the court, or else she would be eliminated.

Jind SP Saurabh Singh said "We have been successful in nabbing two real accused Rinku and Ballu, both resident of Dharoli, on Thursday night".

While Sandeep has been continuously evading the police.

Meanwhile, DSP Virender Singh said "We have released Surajmal Valmiki, whom the victim had named wrongly in her FIR copy".
