NEW DELHI – A Swiss tourist who was on a cycling trip in central India with her husband has been gang-raped by eight men, police said Saturday. The attack comes three months after the fatal gang-rape of a woman aboard a New Delhi bus, outraging Indians.
Authorities detained and questioned 13 men in connection with the latest attack, which occurred Fridaynight as the couple camped out in a forest in Madhya Pradesh state after bicycling from the temple town of Orchha, police officer R.K. Gurjar said. They had been on their way to Agra, the home of the Taj Mahal.
The men beat the couple and gang-raped the woman, he said. They also stole the couple’s mobile phone, a laptop computer and 10,000 rupees ($185). The woman, 39, and her husband were taken to a police station at 10:45 p.m. by a motorcyclist they stopped on the road, Arya said. The woman then had to travel about 50 miles to the city of Gwalior for a medical examination, he said.
A photo showed the woman walking while being escorted by police to the hospital. Her face was concealed with a hood, a common practice in India, where law does not allow rape victims to be identified publicly to protect them from the stigma attached to rape.
Six of the 13 detained men were released after questioning, Gurjar said.
Swiss Foreign Ministry spokesman Tilman Renz described the case as “deeply disturbing” and said Swiss diplomats were assisting the couple. The diplomats called on Indian authorities “to do everythingto quickly find the perpetrators so that they can be held accountable,” Renz said.
Last month, the Swiss government issued a travel notice for India that included a warning about “increasing numbers of rapes and other sexual offenses” there.
India has seen outrage and widespread protests against attacks on women since December’s fatal gang-rape of a 23-year-old woman on amoving bus in New Delhi, the capital.
A suspect in the December attack was found dead in jail this past week. Authorities said he hanged himself, but his family insisted foul play was involved. A magistrate isinvestigating. Four other menand a juvenile remain on trialfor the attack.

capital punishment is the only measure that can curb this evil trend.

Double -check it ! There is possibility she is lying.

Some tourists!
Weren't they warned in advance about the dangers of cycling unaccompanied in central India? And months after the other incident?
Some things scare the hell out of me.
