What did the police officials reveal about the case?
The accused have been identified as Narendra, a physics lecturer; Sandeep, a biology lecturer; and Anup, a close friend of the two. All three men are affiliated with a private college in Bengaluru, the report added. The police officials revealed that the abuse began when Narendra invited the student to the city and promised to share with her his academic notes.
