Tourist couple alleges gang rape in India, sparking outrage and the arrests of 3 men



A Brazilian-Spanish tourist traveling by motorcycle through Asia alleges she was gang-raped while camping in eastern India. Her partner was also reportedly assaulted during the attack, which occurred in Jharkhand state's Dumka district.

Local authorities found the couple late Friday and the woman received medical confirmation of the assault. Three suspects have been arrested, with police searching for four others.

The couple, who have a significant following on Instagram documenting their journey, shared their ordeal on the platform and called for justice not only for themselves but for all victims of similar crimes.

The National Commission for Women in India has urged police to pursue charges of gang rape against the accused.
