No arrest was made immediately, but the cops arrested three people yesterday and one more this morning following a public outrage. Seven other people are still at large. The police, which identified 11 people from the footage and eye-witness accounts, have launched a massive manhunt to nab them.

The molesters included Amarjyoti Kalita, a contractual employee of Amtron, Assam government’s IT Agency. Two others were identified as Dhananjoy Basfor, a sweeper and Bubul Das a local businessman.
