Those arrested on Monday were Suvarna Sawant, Ujwala Bhandwalkar, Banobai Kondwalkar and Sangeeta Tatme.
“We arrested two of them outside the session’s court on Monday before they could file an anticipatory bail application. The other two approached court but their applications were rejected, following which they too were arrested. The accused were part of the mob,” said Vijay Kadam, senior inspector, Trombay police, adding, “All will be produced in court on Tuesday. We are looking out for the other accused who are on the run.”
