Four people were arrested and sent to judicial custody on Sunday for their involvement in a case of moral policing in Karimganj district, where a woman was allegedly stripped and assaulted by villagers. "We had picked up 19 people on suspicion. After interrogation, we have arrested four villagers. They were produced before a court on Sunday and sent to judicial custody," Karimganj Superintendent of Police Gaurav Upadhyay told PTI. The police has identified the remaining culprits who are at large, he added.

"To nab the culprits, we are carrying out raids at different places. Our investigation is on. We want to send out a strong message that no such incidents will be tolerated in the society," Upadhyay said.
