"We have successfully solved the case of the gang rape and murder of a Nepalese woman. We have arrested eight out of the nine accused in this case. Further investigations are on and I assure you that the culprits will be brought to justice. One of the eight persons arrested is of Nepalese origin," Singhal told mediapersons.
