Around 100 sexual assaults are reported to police in India every day. But experts say that the real number is likely much higher, owing to the shame attached to sexual assault and the social barriers faced by victims.
The victim, an unnamed 27-year-old veterinarian, was about to hop on her scooter Tuesday evening, when she noticed she had a flat tire. Two men are alleged to have approached her to offer help, but they were not good Samaritans. According to police, the two men were members of a gang of four who had conspired to sexually assault her. One of the men had let the air out of the tire deliberately, police said.
Around 620 miles south of Hyderabad, a 40-year old woman was attacked with a gardening tool in the city of Perumbavoor in Kerala, early Wednesday morning. She was raped, and later died of her injuries, said K. Bijumon, a senior official with Perumbavoor police. Perumbavoor police have arrested a 28-year-old man in connection with the crime and he is currently in custody.
