Indian woman allegedly gang raped, head shaven, face blackened, paraded through streets

A woman in India was allegedly gang raped and tortured for revenge. The incident took place on India’s Republic Day.

The woman, 20, was allegedly kidnapped and raped by a group of men. She was assaulted and paraded through the streets of East Delhi. The victim’s head was shaved, her face was blackened, and a garland of shoes was placed around her neck. The abuse was captured on video and went viral, prompting considerable anger. The video shows a group of ladies striking and forcing the victim to walk while spectators clap.

The attackers are linked to a family in which a teenage boy committed suicide last November, according to the victim’s family. According to reports, the boy had been stalking and chasing the victim for some time, but when his advances were turned down, he killed himself.

Police in the Indian capital have arrested 11 people, including nine women for the alleged crime.
