The Indians, aged between 25 and 28, took out several sticks and attacked the two. One of them managed to escape. He later gathered his co-workers and returned to the spot.They saw police cars, and pedestrians gathered around and an ambulance.
The police arrested the five perpetrators after a primary investigation. "They denied it at first but soon they admitted willingly," said an officer. "The first defendant admitted that on the day of the incident he called for the other defendants and they all waited for the victims."
He said the five stated that they did not mean for anyone to die. They just wanted to stop the men from blackmailing them.
