Kolkata, March 26: The CID has arrested another person in connection with the nun rape case. This is the second arrest to be carried out today. Earlier in the day a person by the name Salim had been picked up from Mumbai.

His questioning led to the arrest of the second person who was picked up in West Bengal. The CID is hopeful that more arrests would be carried out in the next couple of days.

Five more to go:

The CID has now picked up two of the seven persons involved in the rape and robbery incident. The CID had questioned several persons in connection with the case over the past couple of days.

The questioning of a security guard too recently had given the CID a fair idea of how planned this crime was. The guard had told them the lights had mysteriously gone off just before the incident.

The CBI which was handed over the probe is yet to take over the investigation. Currently the CBI's Bengal unit is assisting the CID until a team from Delhi officially takes over the probe.
