Patan police today arrested Kisan Dattatray Desai (45), Hambirrao Bapurao Desai (39), Shantabai Kisan Desai (35), Vimal Vishwas Desai (32) and Sunita Hambirrao Desai (35) in the case under Indian Penal Code sections 143, 149 (unlawful assembly), 354 (assault with intention to outrage woman's modesty) and 324 (causing grievous hurt).
"We are investigating further," Sub-Divisional police officer Fattulal Naikawadi said.
On Monday, Rekha Chavan (42), a Dalit woman, was allegedly paraded naked and later assaulted as her 22-year-old son eloped with a girl from the Desai family.
The police however refused to confirm if the victim had been paraded naked. Chavan has been admitted to a hospital at Karad in the district.

''very close to this outrage against a woman happened in Epic Mahabharat.Draupathi was not a dalit woman and the men who did that were all from noble birth,It happened in front of Pandavas and great men like Bhishma,Drona chariar etc.None of them did anything to stop that.But she cried for help to Lord Krishna and he blessed her by her sari growing and growing.. The media and all leaders in India are not only watching but also giving more and more publicity to the incident.Also when they call this as a national shame they do not object to any such scenes shown in almost films either on the small screen or big screen from: seshachalam Gopalakrishnan chennai 14 th jan
It is a shame that even sixty-four years after our independence, such abominable incidents take place.Law should be amended so as to provide a minimum of 10 years rigorous imprisonment for perpetrators of such heinous crimes.
