Jaipur: Police in Rajasthan have detained seven persons in connection with the rape of a 20-year-old Japanese tourist, officials Tuesday said.

"We have detained seven persons in connection with the rape incident... We have also identified the main accused in the case and are searching for him," D.C. Jain, Inspector General of Police, Jaipur range told IANS.

He said the main accused has been identified as Ajit Singh Chaudhary, a 24-year-old man who works as a tourist guide and does marketing for shops.

"Serious efforts are being made to arrest the main accused. We may also likely arrest these seven persons who have been detained after their interrogation," Jain said.
