The arrested youths are Pawan Kumar (22) and Shoaib Ansari (24), natives of Mathiya Hatha village under Kuchaikot police station area.
Police said Pawan also attempted to commit suicide by slitting his throat after arrest.

Both incidents remained under cover until police itself began investigation after news was published about one of their latest victims, a 16-year-old girl, allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself inside her residence at Mathiya Hatha on May 18.
As per police sources, she was gang-raped on May 16 and later the arrested accused youths had sent the incident’s video to few people including to one of her relatives due to which she committed suicide.
Police said family members cremated her body in a hurry immediately to cover up the matter fearing social stigma.

FIR on May 22 against Pawan and Shoaib alleging they gangraped her sister and cousin, recorded video and photographs of the act and circulated them.
When asked, Gopalganj SP Anand Kumar on Saturday said that police are now confident that Pawan and Shoaib have deleted all the evidence from their smartphones related to the latest incident.
“They have confessed of recording a rape video of the girl who has been cremated. That's why we are sending two cellphones seized from both to a forensic science laboratory in Patna for retrieving deleted data," SP said.
He said police have also recovered some obscene photos of the first girl in which Pawan is visible. "These photographs were sent to someone else’s cellphone from Pawan’s cellphone,” SP said.
Kumar said that police have got evidence to establish that the arrested youths were involved in filming such crimes and transmitting them.
SP said that further investigation is going to know if more youths are involved in the crime.
Kuchaikot police station SHO Ashwani Kumar Tiwari said that the first victim and her family remained silent as accused youths had threatened them for making videos viral.
“Pawan and Shoaib have formatted and restored factory settings of their cellphones by the time police arrested them. They have confessed of committing two gang rape incidents. The first incident took place four months back,” Tiwari said.
