According to CNN and other foreign media, an Israeli woman and an Indian woman, the homestay operator she was staying in, were watching the stars with one American man and two Indian men in the town of Kopal in southern Karnataka, southern India, on the night of the 6th (local time).
After that, three men on motorcycles approached and demanded money. After a quarrel, they pushed male travelers into a nearby waterway and raped the women. One of the drowning Indian tourists drowned, while an American man and another Indian man swam out.
The victims are currently being treated at the hospital.
Local police arrested two Indian men in their 20s who fled on the 9th, two days later, and booked them on charges of sexual assault and are chasing one who fled.
According to the National Crime Records Bureau of India, there were 31,516 rape cases against women in 2022, up 20% from 2021. In other words, more than 86 rape crimes occur a day.
However, the actual figure is estimated to be much higher due to the stigma surrounding sexual violence and the victim's distrust of the police.
In India, the rape law was revised in 2013 to criminalize stalking and voyeurism and lower the age of trial as an adult from 18 to 16. In 2018, the government approved the death penalty for a person convicted of raping a child under the age of 12.
