Second European raped in India in under a week...

Two foreigners have been raped in India less than a week. The first was of a German charity worker, 18, who took an eastbound train last Friday. The second was a Danish woman raped in the capital’s tourist area on Tuesday by a large group of men.

The German teenager had apparently been too scared to report anything to the police until Monday, leading to complications in performing a thorough medical examination. But an Inspector General with the local police, Seema Agarwal, said that they have “handled the case in a very sensitive manner,” local news site NDTV reported.

The girl was riding a train from Mangalore in western India to Chennai in the east to volunteer for a charity, when she was allegedly attacked in her cabin by a single man, but was too afraid to shout for help and alert the other passengers in her carriage.

A suspect is now in custody in Chennai - a 22-year-old carpenter from Bihar. Apparently, both had the type of ticket that requires a person to share the two-tier sleeping coach with someone else. As the train progressed through the night, the girl reported the man forcing himself on her as she lay sleeping. Full story...
