Thiruvananthapuram, May 4 (IBNS): A nursing student has been allegedly gang-raped in Kerala's Thiruvananthapuram city on Tuesday, media reports said.

On the basis of the victim's statement, the police have registered a case.

She has named two of her attackers as Sujith, 25, and Shyju, 24," NDTV reported.

The incident occurred at a time when the state is witnessing protests over rape and murder of a law student in Ernakulam district.

As gruesome details of the rape and murder spill out -- the girl's body bore 30 marks of stabbing and her intestines pulled out -- and the police await the post mortem report, most people are drawing a parallel with the Nirbhaya case -- the gang rape of a Delhi student in a moving bus in 2012.
