The couple, who were coming on a bike, was intercepted by the accused. They attacked the husband and then took his wife to a nearby field and gang-raped her.

Meanwhile, the police have made progress in the investigation of a gang-rape incident in the Guntur district. Soon after the victim complained to the Sattanapalle police station the same night after the incident, the police who started the investigation arrested the suspects.
