A 30-year-old Indian woman was gang-raped
by at least six persons, including her
estranged husband, and also forced to drink
urine at a village in Madhya Pradesh's
Khandwa district in central India.
India Today reports that the woman who was living
separately from her husband, Kailash Bhil (35), for
the last couple of months due to some property
dispute was raped in the presence of her 10-year-old
son on June 10.
Recounting what happened, the victim said her
husband had called her to a place in the village on
the pretext of thrashing out the differences between
them and she went along with her son to see the
husband.
She said she was thrashed and gang-raped by her
husband and the other men who were with him,
adding that they paraded her naked and when she
asked for water, the men urinated on her face and
forced her to drink it.
Confirming the incident, the Manoj Sharma, District
Superintendent of Police said the woman's family
had reported the matter to the police after taking her
to the Khandwa District Hospital.
He said acting on the complaint, the police have
arrested all that were involved in the gang rape,
including the victim's husband, relatives and other
villagers.
He said investigations are ongoing.
India has witnessed a spurt in rape cases over the
years. Following the December 2012, gang- rape of a
student in New Delhi, there was public outcry both
locally and internationally for better treatment for the
country's women. Despite this call, rape cases has
continued to be on the increase in the country.
