New Cases of Fatal Gang Rape Reported in India

HeadlineJan 14, 2013

New cases of deadly gang rape have been reported in India amidst ongoing outcry over the death of a rape victim last month. Six men have been arrested on charges of gang-raping a woman on board a bus in northern India. Another gang rape and murder has also been reported at a train station in the state of Bihar. The attacks are likely to fuel protests that have erupted across India since 23-year-old Jyoti Singh Pandey was gang-raped and mutilated on a moving bus in the capital New Delhi nearly one month ago. She died in the hospital two weeks later.
