A case was registered and a probe was launched".

"We have now made three police personnel including a sub-inspector accused in the case. Further probe is underway", he added. While accused Gaurav and Dharmendra have been arrested and produced in the court for remand, another accused Sub-inspector Gopal remains absconding.
