Sambalpur: Police on Sunday had arrested six persons in connection with alleged sexual assault of a minor girl and circulation of obscene MMS and visuals.
The arrests were based on the complaint filed in Mahila police station by the father of the girl.
Additional Superintendent of Police, S K Panigrahi said, “While six persons were arrested, another involved in the incident is yet to be caught. We have identified the accused and efforts are on to nab him soon.”
