Bangladeshi woman tortured, gang-raped in Bengaluru

Six persons including two women have been arrested in Bengaluru in a case filed for allegedly raping and torturing of a Bangladeshi woman.

A gut-wrenching video of the attack, which was circulated on social media, has generated immense outrage, reports NDTV.

The video showed a woman being tortured by the accused. It even showed them inserting a bottle in her private parts.

The 22-year-old was later allegedly gang raped. The incident took place in Bengaluru almost six days ago.

“On the basis of the contents of the video clip and facts as disclosed during the interrogation of the accused persons, a case of rape, assault and other relevant provisions of the law, has been generated against the accused,” the Bengaluru police said in a statement.

“As per information revealed so far, all of them are part of the same group and believed to be from Bangladesh. Due to financial differences, the culprits brutalised the victim who is also said to be a Bangladeshi, brought to India for human trafficking,” the police added.

The Bengaluru police said the woman is currently in another state and a team has been sent to fetch her. Once she is back, her statement will be recorded before a magistrate.

The incident and the video generated outrage, especially in the northeast.

After watching the video it was assumed that the survivor was from that part of the country and the Assam police had sought information about the accused.

The woman is currently in another state and a team has gone to get her, cops said.
