  "account": "A woman from Tiruppur, Tamil Nadu, checked into a lodge in Thrissur, Kerala, with her male friend. Allegedly, a gang of six men posed as police officers and abducted the pair from their room. The men were tied up, gagged, and forced into a car. The male victim suffered multiple fractures during the journey and was abandoned outside a hospital in Tiruppur. The woman was taken away in another vehicle by two members of the gang, who subsequently sexually assaulted her. Police suspect that the man's wife may have hired the attackers after tracking his mobile phone location, a common practice in Kerala known as a \"quotation.\" One suspect was arrested near Nedumbassery airport, while three others were later produced before a court. A fifth suspect remains at large.",
