Police in southern India said Saturday that they arrested two men in connection with the allegations of mass rape on Israeli and a local woman.
Police official Ram L Ersiyy said the Israeli and its home operators were working with three male passengers, one American and two Indians in Kopal Town, southern Karnataka, on Thursday night.
According to a preliminary investigation, three people on the motorcycle used to contact them, demanding money. Arsidi said that after the arguments, the three men pushed male passengers into a nearby water canal and sexually abused women. An Indian tourist drowned and his body was recovered on Saturday. The American and another Indian swimmed for safety.
Copal is about 350 350 km (217 miles) from Bangalore, India’s startup and technology powerhouse.
Arsidi said that police set up a special investigative team in which two of the three suspects were arrested on Saturday. He said that efforts to murder, mass rape and robbery are being investigated.
The Associated Press usually does not identify the victims of sexual abuse.
According to the National Crime Record Bureau, women are familiar with sexual assaults in India, where in 2022 police recorded 31,516 rape cases, an increase from 2021 to 20 %. It is believed that sexual violence and the lack of confidence in the police of the victims are more than the real personality.
The brutality of a 23 -year -old student on New Delhi bus has been in the light of rape and sexual violence since the murder and murder of 2012. The attack gave rise to mass protests, and lawmakers ordered the establishment of fast -track courts dedicated to rape cases and severe fines.
In 2013, the law of rape was amended, in which the sticks and the Viewer were found guilty and reduced the age in which a person could be tested at the age of 18 to 16. In 2018, the government approved the death penalty for convicts for abusing children under the age of 12.
Despite strict rules, it is unusual for more than a few weeks to pass without reports of another brutal sexual abuse.
High -level issues related to foreign visitors have attracted international attention to the issue. Last year, in a video that was later deleted, a Spanish tourist said his wife was abducted in northern India, while an Indian American woman said she was abused at a hotel in New Delhi. In 2022, in Goa, a British tourist was raped in front of his partner.
