The Kovalam police on Tuesday arrested a migrant worker in connection with the alleged assault on a woman hailing from Assam a few days ago.
The police identified the accused as Sujith Das, 43, of West Bengal. He was allegedly part of a three-member gang that hurled abuses and manhandled the victim on March 12. One of the perpetrators, Deepu, a native of Karunagappally, was arrested a day ago.
The incident occurred at a hotel room where the victim had been residing. The gang purportedly attacked her for disobeying their instruction at their workplace, the police said.
