New Delhi: A Delhi court today remanded two men arrested in connection with the Danish woman gangrape case to three-day police custody.
The two men were arrested on Wednesday evening, a day after the incident happened in the Paharganj area in the heart of Delhi.
The police had earlier said that they had identified all the eight men who allegedly gangraped the foreign national. The police also asserted that there could be useable CCTV footage of the incident.
The Danish national filed a complaint with the Delhi Police at Paharganj police station alleging gangrape. The 51-year-old woman said in her complaint that she lost her way while she was sight-seeing the city on Tuesday night.

This incident adds to the alarming surge in crime against foreign nationals in the past two months. A German woman had on Tuesday lodged an FIR alleging molestation in the Chennai-bound Mangalore Express.
Earlier in January, a Polish woman was allegedly raped by a taxi driver in Mathura. The woman in her police complaint said that she was abducted at knife point by a taxi driver in Mathura who later drugged and raped her. When the victim regained her senses, she found herself in Delhi's Nizamuddin area.
