The police arrested Varun Kumar (36) early Monday morning from Aluva in the ongoing gangrape case at an ayurvedic spa in Thiruvalla. The arrest was made by a Special Investigation Team (SIT), using tower location data to track his movements. With this arrest, three of the six accused have now been caught. The police are still searching for the other three gang members. They are also investigating whether a quotation bid led to the crime. Authorities are checking if the spa operated under proper legal permissions. The police have denied any involvement of law enforcement officials in extortion linked to spas in the region. According to the case details, on February 1, the accused entered the spa after the staff refused to pay extortion money. They threatened the workers and sexually assaulted a female employee at knifepoint. Another customer at the spa was also threatened, and videos allegedly were recorded during the attack.
