The assault on the women took place almost three months ago but became public only on Thursday after the video went viral on Twitter. According to a police complaint, one of the women was gang raped. The complaint added that a third woman was also forced to strip but she is not seen in the video.
The video shows the distraught women being pushed around and groped by their attackers. While the men's faces are visible, only one person has been arrested so far on charges of gang rape.
