Port Blair: The police on Thursday arrested former Andaman and Nicobar chief secretary Jitendra Narain in a gang rape case. The victim's lawyer, Phatick Chandra Das, said Narain was arrested after his anticipatory bail application was rejected by a local court. Soon after the verdict, a team of policemen reached a private resort where Narain is staying and took him to the Police Line amid heavy security. After his arrest, the police took the senior IAS officer from there to a hospital for a check-up.

A special investigation team (SIT) questioned Narain thrice in connection with the case. The SIT was constituted to probe allegations that a 21-year-old woman in Andaman and Nicobar Islands was lured to the chief secretary's home by promising a government job and then raped by top officials including Narain there.
