Police Sub-Inspector Chethan said the three youths and the girl do not know each other.

"They picked a quarrel after seeing a burka-clad girl with a Hindu youth at the chats centre," Chethan said. "Later, the accused went to the girl's home, put pressure on her and got a video recorded by her in which she was seen tendering an apology. We arrested the accused as soon as the matter was brought to our notice," he said.

The video of the incident went viral on social media.
