"All the four accused have been arrested," Senior Superintendent of Police Saket Kumar Singh said here.
The arrests came a day after the girl committed suicide by setting herself on fire.
In her dying declaration, she alleged the four youths had raped her near Getalsud dam on the outskirts of Ranchi on March 17.
The girl, hailing from a village in Ranchi district, identified them as her lover Vritranjan Prasad and his friends Utam Mahto, Gouri Shankar, Munda and J Kujur.
In her dying statement, the girl alleged they had raped her after she asked Prasad to marry her.
Prasad also told her she was a prostitute, the statement said.
