Kochi | Model gangrape Kochi/UNI: A model who travelled to Kochi in Kerala from Malappuram for a photoshoot was locked up in a lodge near Infopark-Kakkanad and gang-raped for three days by three men.
Police have arrested accused Salim Kumar (33) in connection with the incident and a search is on to nab two others, Ajmal and Shameer, sources said on Monday.
In her complaint, the 27-year-old woman alleged that she was given drinks laced with drugs and thereafter, raped by the three from Dec 1 to 3 with the support of lodge owner, Cristeena, who is also absconding.
