Kozhikode: A young woman's acquaintance was arrested for allegedly luring the former to a flat in Karaparambu here with a movie offer and subjecting her to a gang rape.
The accused Afseena (29), of Mundayad in Kannur, was nabbed by a team led by Kozhikode Town Police Assistant Commissioner Bijuraj.
The survivor, who is a Kottayam native, was working in Kannur. After befriending the woman, Afseena lured her to the flat with the help of her friend Shameer Kunnummal and gang-raped her.

Afseena was arrested based on the subsequent investigation launched by the police team.
Police earlier arrested Malappuram natives Abu Backer and Saithalavi in connection with the case from a resort.
