Thread: India : Teenager gang-raped and burned alive

Indian teenager gang-raped and burned alive: police
02 January 2014

KOLKATA: An Indian teenager was gang-raped in two separate attacks and then died after being set on fire, sparking protests in the eastern city of Kolkata, police said on Thursday.

The 16-year-old was assaulted first on October 26 and then again the day after by a group of more than six men near her family’s home in Madhyagram town, about 25 kilometres (15 miles) north of Kolkata.

The second rape occurred as she was returning home after reporting the first attack at a police station.

She was then set on fire on December 23 and died in a state-run hospital late on New Year’s Eve, police said.

“She gave us a dying declaration in front of the health officials that she was set on fire by two persons close to the accused when she was alone at home on December 23,” local policeman Nimbala Santosh Uttamrao told AFP.

Police made their first arrests on Wednesday, two months after the initial crime, local police chief Rajiv Kumar told AFP.

“The accused tried to kill my daughter by setting her on fire to hush up their crimes,” the victim’s father, a migrant taxi driver from India’s poorest state Bihar, told AFP.

Neither he nor the victim can be named for legal reasons.

Several hundred activists on Wednesday protested in Kolkata over the crime, which was shocking in its brutality, even after a year when sex crimes have been widely reported in India.

Rampant rape, assault and harassment of women in India was in the spotlight in the past 12 months after the fatal gang-rape of a 23-year-old student on a moving bus in New Delhi in December 2012 sparked nationwide outrage.

The parliament has since passed tougher laws to punish rapists.

Activists say rape victims in India often face severe threats and intimidation from their attackers after the assault, while police often discourage them from lodging complaints.

RIP, poor young soul...

What is it about rag heads and gang rape?

Stone the fukkers

^

The thing is India has nearly a billion punters and a few of them are simply fuking sick mothers.

We have them in Australia as well and every country has a few.

To be expected as the human race has more than a few people that need to be offed and this is why I support capital punishment.

Just drag the retards out the back paddock and pop a cap in them.

End of story.

India is 2nd only to the USA in Rapes per Captia

All in all, India must ponder upon this crime seriously as after every 20 minutes, a female is subjected to this sin

So it seems Christians rape most, followed by Hindus, Buddhists, and Muslims a distant fourth.

Just not very good at being people.

Being raped is bad but raped by a stinky fucker is worse.

Africa is worse for Rape ,but it is not politically correct to report it.

RIP young lady, may karma catch up with the vile scum that did that to you.

This is about the worst thing I've ever heard.

It's not long ago that the practice of "Sati" or burning the widow alive on the pyre of her deceased husband was abolished (by the Brits during colonial rule).

This site argues that the tradition is still being carried out. Sati Widow Burning Still Going On

I hope it's not the "Top Ten" list posted by Mid, which mentions American girls being raped in college, 'mostly at the age of 14' and that more rapes occur in 'cities than villages' in the US. The entire article reads as if it were written by a learning disabled child. Wonder where they got their 'facts'. Strange that no African countries are in the top ten. What bullshit....

One has figured out what I was refering too, hidden in plain sight.

You are too gutless to attack the mod who delivered the statistics.

I quoted his post and disagreed with it; what more can I do...

I wanted to focus on the issue at hand: India has very high rates of gang rape and murdering of young girls/women - it's horrific. Every one of these women are real people, they could be our daughters, sisters, etc. Their suffering needs to be highlighted and as much pressure as possible put on the authorities to deal with it, so that more young girls/women do not have to suffer these horrible crimes.

see everybody focusing on rainfall's comments but how come this one gets a pass?
