Indian police have arrested five men in connection with the alleged
abduction and gang-rape of a 23-year-old Japanese tourist, officials
have said.
The detainments, announced on Saturday, came after the alleged victim
had filed a complaint through the Japanese consulate in the eastern
Indian city of Kolkata.
She said she had been staying in a budget hotel in the city in
November when three local men who spoke Japanese befriended her and took
her to the seaside resort of Digha in the state of West Bengal.
According to Kolkata police, she said they had robbed her of $1,200
using her ATM card, and then took her to Bodh Gaya, a major Buddhist
pilgrimage and tourist centre in the eastern state of Bihar.
There, she alleged that two more men joined them and raped her.
"We have arrested three people from Kolkata and two from Gaya in
Bihar in connection with the incident," said Pallav Kanti Ghosh, a
senior police official in Kolkata.
He also said two of the suspects had been charged with gang-rape. ...Aljazeera
