Nine people, including four on Thursday night, have so far been arrested ever since the Sunday night incident in which the 21-year old Tanzanian student faced mob fury in vigilante justice after a Sudanese driving a car in an alleged drunken state struck a couple, killing a woman on the spot.
Inspector Pravin Babu had been suspended for dereliction of duty and Constable Manjunath for not taking action even though he was present at the spot, Bengaluru Police Commissioner NS Megharikh said, as police faced intense heat amidst accusations that they did not act promptly and swiftly.
Speaking to CNN-IBN, the 21-year-old student said that police officers on the spot did nothing to stop the attack. "There were policemen around before the attacks began, but once they started beating us I do not know where they went," she said.
She said there were a large number of people who had gathered at the spot and that they attacked her friends as well.
