Varanasi, July 23 (ANI): Prime accused in the ignominious Guwahati public molestation incident, Amar Jyoti Kalita, was arrested here on Monday.
Kalita reportedly surrendered at the Banaras Hindu University Police Station here.
Varanasi's DIG Satish Ganesh informed that a man claiming to be Kalita surrendered before them on Monday afternoon.
Kalita fled Guwahati after the molestation video went viral on the Internet and was shown by news channels. He was seen in Odisha, Mumbai and Kolkata. He was seen at the Howrah railway station about three days back.
Kalita is said to be a friend of Gaurav Jyoti Neog , the TV reporter who shot the molestation video on July 9.
Neog, arrested last week, has been booked on 11 counts including intention to insult the modesty of a woman, obscene act and disturbing public tranquility.
The police have so far arrested 11 people in the case. The unedited footage of the incident was also sent for tests.
Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi had set a two-day deadline for the police to arrest all the accused, which the police failed to meet. (ANI)
