Outrage in India Over Gang Rape on Bus
Worldwide, Daily news | ankakh | December 19, 2012 14:19Lawmakers, rights groups and citizens across India expressed outrage Wednesday over the gang rape of a woman on a bus in New Delhi and are urging the government to crack down on crimes against women.
The outpouring of anger is unusual in a country where attacks against women are often ignored and rarely prosecuted.
Opposition lawmakers protested outside Parliament on Wednesday and called for the death penalty for the rapists.
Demonstrations erupted outside New Delhi’s police headquarters demanding swift punishment for the rapists, and angry university students set up roadblocks across the city.
Police say six men raped the 23-year-old medical student, and beat her and her companion with iron rods before throwing them off the bus Sunday.
The woman was in a critical condition in hospital and doctors said she has severe internal injuries.
Delhi police chief Neeraj Kumar said four men have been arrested and a search was underway for the two other men.
