A minor, the fourth accused in the Hyderabad gang-rape case, has been taken into custody according to reports. 

The police say the fifth accused is still on the run and the search is on to locate him. 

On Friday, accused Saduddin Malik was taken into custody, followed by two Children in Conflict with Law who were apprehended on Saturday. 

The political slugfest around the case, meanwhile, is continuing. A BJP MLA has made claims of a cover-up in the case. According to reports, visuals were made public by BJP MLA Raghunandan Rao, who alleges the presence of an AIMIM MLA's son in the car with the survivor. The police have so far refuted his claim. 

The minor was raped in the Jubilee Hills area of Hyderabad on May 28 and a complaint was registered by her father on May 31 in the case.
