Credible India: Swiss Tourist gang-raped
By Zaheerul Hassan
The two were cycling from Orchha, a heritage tourism spot, to Agra when they decided to camp in a jungle near Jhadia village. Around 9pm, the criminals, mostly in their 20s, broke into their camp, handcuffed the husband and raped the woman. They then fled with their mobile phones, a laptop and Rs. 10,000.
Battered and bruised, the couple took a lift from a passerby and reached the police station in Datia district, from where they were taken to the hospital. A medical examination confirmed rape by multiple people. Deputy inspector-general of police DK Arya said an operation had been launched to track down the criminals. The Swiss embassy also got in touch with authorities in Madhya Pradesh and requested a ‘swift’ probe into the incident, which is likely to harm the image of the state, popularly called the ‘Heart of Incredible India’.
The woman, a teacher, and her husband, a plumber, arrived in Mumbai from Iran on February 12 and were on a bicycle tour since then. They had avoided going to Pakistan, thinking it would be unsafe but now found repenting their decision of visiting a highly insecure India.
Earlier, on 9th March 2013 United States has honoured the Indian23 year’s old psychotherapist who was brutally murdered after a gang-rape in a bus in New Delhi in December 2012. The young student, who has become known simply as “Nirbhaya” or “fearless,” was awarded the US International Women of Courage award posthumously. At this occasion US Sectary John Kerry told the participants of the ceremony that bravery of the lady student inspired millions of men and women to come together with a simple message ‘No more,”. “We never imagined the girl we thought was our daughter would one day be the daughter of the entire world,” her parents wrote in a message to the ceremony that was read out by Kerry.
Therefore, notable decline in tourists’ visitors have been observed because of pathetic law and order situation in settled and far flawing monists’ areas and Nagaland. Global tourists organizations are demanding from India to take control of the situations and punished the morally degrades culprits who raped respectable female Swiss .
