Dumka gang rape
On Friday night, 1st March, two tourists a woman and her Spanish partner, who were on a bike-ride to India, took a halt and were staying in a makeshift tent. At around 10 PM, approximately 7 to 8 local men arrived at the location and thrashed the couple before taking turns to sexually assault her.
The woman with visible bruises on her face narrated her ordeal on Instagram in a video post in Spanish that she was raped by seven men.
“We are in the hospital, and something happened to us that we wouldn’t wish on anyone. Seven men raped me, and they have beaten us and robbed us, although not many things (were taken) because what they wanted was to rape me. We are in the hospital with the police, it happened tonight in India,” the 28-year-old Spanish travel vlogger said in her video post. The woman has almost 2 lakh followers on Instagram.
“They attacked us, beat us, put a knife to our necks and said they were going to kill us…There were seven people…,” she added. The couple sustained injuries and was taken by the police to Saraiyahat Community Health Center for treatment.
Dumka police officially announced the arrest of three culprits on Sunday evening, with efforts underway to apprehend the remaining four.
The woman and her partner, 64, later took down the video from social media, claiming that the Jharkhand Police asked them not to "disturb" the investigation.
