BENGALURU: The Hoskote police have arrested seven of the eight accused, who stripped and beat up three minor boys for allegedly stealing money from a shop in Ambedkar Colony.
The police, who arrested three people on Saturday, took four others into custody on Sunday. One more accused in the case is still absconding and efforts are on to nab him.
Meanwhile, the three boys met Dr Kripa Alva, Chairperson of the Karnataka State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (KSCPCR), on Monday.
Dr Alva said that the problem started when the boys had gone to retrieve a ball from the compound of one of the accused while they were playing cricket a month ago.
“The accused assaulted the boys repeatedly. Only after someone intervened, the accused fled and the boys were rescued. All measures to rehabilitate the boys have been taken. I will meet the police investigating the case on Tuesday,” she said.
