Police say Indian gang raped twice in hours

The incident comes only days after the anniversary of the fatal gang rape of a woman on a bus in Delhi [Reuters]

Ten people in India have been arrested after a 21-year-old woman was gang-raped twice in one night by two apparently unrelated groups of men, according to police officials.
Six of them have been charged with gang-raping the woman on the evening of December 24, a police officer told Associated Press news agency on Friday, adding that a juvenile male was additionally detained for not informing the police about the crime.

Officer Monika Bharadwaj said the arrests were made on Thursday after the woman complained that she was abducted and raped while visiting a friend in Karaikal, a port city in Pondicherry state.
After nearly three hours of captivity in the first case, she was released and called for help only to be gang-raped by an apparently separate group of seven men, the official said.

Police have been questioning the accused to find out whether they knew each other or belonged to two separate groups, Bhardwaj said.

1. and, right on schedule, we have this crap:

DMK MLA questions girl's character And the worst - A DMK legislator, AMH Nazeem said on Friday that the incident could be a 'case of prostitution. "Rape case has been registered but it could be a case of prostitution". The legislator added that such incidents happen because the youth in the area are depressed.

5. DMK, MLA?

[Spider Jerusalem]

12. One presumes DMK is a party and MLA = "Member of Legislative Assembly"

[redqueen]

6. "such incidents happen because the youth in the area are depressed"

No, it's because they know they'll most likely get away with it.

[seabeyond]

7. blame with prostitution, excuse with depressed youth. twofer. nt

2. And remember...we're all supposed to get exercised because a human-trafficking

diplomat got arrested and searched in NYC.

3. I know, how silly of me.

[progressoid]

4. This

is why I know there is no just and kind god.

[roguevalley]

9. I see it as a culture that doesn't value women and

treats them like shit. Blaming this on a vacuum of god's love and protection means that the sick fucks who did this are less culpable. I know you don't feel that way but it always seems to me that if God is supposed to influence and keep us on the right track, people can do what they want without conscience.

I find stuff like this incomprehensible and truly within the domain of people. God wasn't there. They were. They bear complete responsibility, the fuckers.

15. i didnt know how to address that. but, well said. nt

8. I knew of a case like this when I was a teenager. in America. At a Dairy Queen, I think, it started.

She was kidnapped and gang raped then as they left her.

She went to the nearest house for help as it was in a rural area and was gang raped by the men there.

Finally when she got out, it was still night and she went to the next house who called the police.

An old English poem, about how a young gentleman riding by a field and seeing a milk maid with the cows, encouraged young men to seize the opportunity.

I'll never forget the line, 'If you will not when you may, you shall not when you will.'

Very nicely worded, just disregard the choice of the female. Nice thing to do with one's free will, huh?

10. women's wishes, women's safety, women's safety, are of no consequence in the patriarchy.

[niyad]

11. kick for visibility

[etherealtruth]

13. OMG

Words escape me ... acts of horrific violence are committed yet aspersions are cast on the character of the victim.

[JI7]

14. will those who are so outraged at the piece of shit who tried to keep a slave

being arrested care anything about this ?

[nomorenomore08]

17. Oh, but that "piece of shit" is from the upper classes. Therefore she's a superior breed of human

who can do whatever she wants to those who are beneath her...

(Just in case...)

[JI7]

16. there have been a few articles from men in india blaming rape and other violence on the women

and these are not from some backward poor villages without any education.

one article even had a quote from a 10 year old boy saying something about how his older sister needs to be watched because SHE will get in trouble. so blaming what others might do on her.

[Kurska]

18. "Criminalised...acid attacks"

Can someone explain to me why on earth acid attacks weren't illegal before?

[niyad]

19. because women don't matter

[Kurska]

20. I'd imagine that in any remotely civilized society on earth flinging acid at someone

would be a crime, male/female or anything

Do they mean that they created a special provision that provides additional punishment gender motivated acid attacks? I have a hard time believing that it was ever legal to throw acid at people.
