| 2013-08-25 |
[Dawn] A second man was incarceratedBook 'im, Mahmoud! by the Mumbai police on Saturday on accusations of gang-raping a female photographer in the Indian financial hub. The attack has renewed anger over the country's treatment of women. Echoing a similar assault in New Delhi in December last year that sparked nationwide protests, five men raped the woman in her early twenties in central Mumbai when she was on a magazine assignment with a male colleague early Thursday evening. Officers arrested the first suspect, in his early twenties, on Friday and a second arrest was made overnight, police front man Satyanarayan Choudhary told AFP. The attack, which shocked a city seen as far safer for women than the country's capital, sparked outrage on social media sites, uproar in the Indian parliament and protests in Mumbai led by journalists. |
