Two other suspects were picked up Wednesday night and accused of taking part in Tuesday's attack, which lasted nearly three hours and involved six men.
It happened near Connaught Place, a popular shopping area in the heart of New Delhi, police spokesman Rajan Bhagat said.
‘We have identified the culprits. All of them are vagabonds,’ a police official said, according to the Press Trust of India news agency.

It's a case that highlights the plague of sexual violence in the country and threatens to tarnish its tourism industry.
