The arrests follow directions of the Supreme Court, which had ordered a CBI probe into the case. According to official sources, those arrested also include Sub-Inspector Riyaz Ahmed and four other policemen.

The constable was allegedly tortured to the extent that he became incapacitated, sources said.

On July 21, a bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta directed the CBI to register a case within seven days.

The court also instructed the CBI director to constitute a Special Investigation Team (SIT), headed by an officer not below the rank of superintendent of police, to conduct the probe.
