Gang rape nightmare continues in India

 

Less than a month after a fatal gang rape and beating on a New Delhi bus, a 29-year-old woman taking a bus home to her village in Punjab says she was gang raped by seven men. The police in the northern Indian province have arrested seven suspects, including the bus driver and conductor.

In a similar national reaction to last month's gang rape of a medical student in New Delhi, the Punjab gang rape has sparked protests across India. But the back-to-back incidents demonstrate that far too many Indian men believe they can commit sexual assaults with impunity.
