Four people were detained on Friday after a video showing a young couple being thrashed brutally in Maharashtra's Jalna district went viral, causing outrage across the state.
Home Minister Anil Deshmukh said the police had nabbed four persons involved in the crime, while another accused was yet to be traced.
"The Jalna incident is being speedily investigated and four accused have been detained and fifth one is being traced," Deshmukh tweeted, tagging Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar in the message.
The incident took place at Gondegaon village on Thursday, the police said earlier, adding that the motive behind the assault on the couple was yet to be ascertained
