SHIMLA, India - An American tourist was gang-raped by a group of men in a
hill resort in northern India, police said on Tuesday, in the latest of a
series of attacks that have thrown the spotlight on women’s safety in the
world’s largest democracy.
The woman was picked up by three men in a truck on Monday night while hitch-
hiking back to her guest house in the town of Manali in Himachal Pradesh
state, police said. She had been visiting friends and had been unable to
find a taxi home.
Three men were briefly detained and then released in connection with the
attack, Himachal Pradesh police chief B. Kamal Kumar told Reuters,
clarifying an earlier statement which appeared to say the men had been
arrested.
“Sorry, I think it was misquoted. I think they were detained for
questioning, they were not arrested,” Kumar told Reuters.
The woman told police her attackers took her to an isolated area and raped
her. She was taken to a local hospital for preliminary tests before being
taken back to her guest house, said a local police inspector, who declined
to be identified.
“We are in contact with authorities but due to issues of privacy we have no
further comment,” Peter Vrooman, spokesman for the U.S. embassy in New
Delhi, said in an e-mail. | b********n
