New Delhi, India - A 20-year-old woman in India has
alleged that she was gang-raped by a group of men this week after the
head of a village ordered them to do so, police in West Bengal said on
Thursday.
The incident allegedly
took place Monday in a tribal village in a very remote part of West
Bengal, in India's northeast, police spokesman PrasantaChowdhury said.
Police have arrested 13 men for questioning in the case, and the alleged
victim is undergoing medical treatment in a hospital, Chowdhury said.Since then, the Indian media have intensified their focus on rape cases. Attacks against foreign women have also been reported.
The 2012 case also prompted lawmakers to change statutes to fast-track the arrest and questioning of anyone implicated in a rape.
