The footage, which went viral on social media on Wednesday, showed the woman alighting from an auto-rickshaw at a cross road, getting accosted and then assaulted.

According to police, they analysed the footage and technical data, including mobile phone location, before detaining the seven. Analysis of the footage revealed that a female friend accompanied the woman when she alighted from the rickshaw. The friend then hurried off to their accommodation because she was unwell. The victim paid for the rickshaw ride and stepped into the street near her house alone before being assaulted.
