16yrs old Girl, killed herself after being gang raped by eight men

A 16-year-old has taken her own life after being gang-raped by eight men in India.

A few days later, a 19-year-old woman was raped by five men in a separate incident in the same northern state of India.

Both horrific incidents lay bare India’s rape crisis that shows no sign of stopping despite stronger prison sentences coming into force last month.

According to local reports, the 16-year-old girl was abducted from her home on Sunday when she was alone and raped by men from her village.

The girl hanged herself on Monday in the Nuh district in the northern state of Haryana.

Police have still not caught the rapists, senior police official Nazneen Bhasin said.

On Tuesday, an auto rickshaw driver duped a 19-year-old woman into believing she had missed her bus and offered to drop her off at another bus depot, said police spokesman Ravindra Kumar.

She was then taken to a deserted area near Gurugram town and raped by the driver and four accomplices who were waiting there, he said.

‘A case of gang rape has been registered after the medical examination of the victim confirmed the same. The matter is under investigation,’ he said.

Gurugram, on the outskirts of New Delhi, is a rapidly expanding technology hub, where scores of international companies have set up offices.

The shocking incidents come less than a month after India approved the death penalty for the rape of girls younger than 12.

Stronger prison terms for rape were also introduced following nationwide disgust over a particularly gruesome rape and murder of a Muslim girl in Jammu and Kashmir state.

Registered cases of sexual violence have been steadily rising despite the national outrage that followed the fatal gang rape of a student on a bus in New Delhi in 2012.

Amid the wave of anger at that time, the government promised to speed up rape trials, introduce harsher penalties, including the death sentence in extreme cases, and introduced a law against stalking.

But statistics show that since 2012, reported rape cases climbed 60% to about 40,000 in 2016, with child rape accounting for about 40% of them.
