COIMBATORE: Two Bihar natives were arrested by Tirupur police for sexually assaulting a 19-year-old girl from Uttar Pradesh after giving her spiked drinks on New Year eve.

The accused persons, Nithish Kumar (23) and Roopesh Kumar (21) from Bihar, who were employed in a textile firm, had met the victim on Dec 31 at Tirupur railway station. She had come in search of a job all alone.

As she sought help from the duo to find a job, they took her to their rented house near Sivanmalai and sexually abused her.
