Brutal rape shocks: 64 men investigated in shocking case!

In the southern Indian state of Karnataka, the brutality of sexual assault was once again exposed when two women, including a tourist from Israel, were victims of a gruesome gang rape. According to police, the women, along with three men, were attacked near the UNESCO World Heritage site of Hampi on Thursday evening. The perpetrators, who appeared to be a group of men, attacked the group while they were sitting by the canal stargazing. They threw the men, including an Indian citizen, into the water while the women were raped. Tragically, one of the men could only be rescued from the water dead. Two suspects have already been arrested, but the police are still looking for other perpetrators oe24.at reported.

Systematic attacks

Another shocking case of sexual violence rocked Kerala, where an 18-year-old was said to have been raped by up to 64 men over several years, according to media reports. The investigation, which has gained momentum in recent days, has already led to the arrest of 49 suspects. The crimes are said to have started when the victim was only 13 years old. The suspects are often neighbors, friends and acquaintances of the young people's families. What is also shocking is that the attacks took place in various locations, including sports camps, bus stops and even a hospital. The 18-year-old was eventually taken to a safe home after she contacted a child welfare committee, like t-online.de reported. In India, a new rape case is reported every 15 minutes, highlighting the alarming reality of sexual violence in the country.

These two incidents shed a cruel light on the ongoing violence against women in India. Despite public outrage and political promises to improve the security situation, such horrendous acts continue to occur. An average of nearly 90 rapes were reported per day in 2022, underscoring the urgency of comprehensive reform to combat this epidemic.
