SRINAGAR, June 27: Hundreds of angry Kashmiri villagers paraded two Indian soldiers naked through the streets after they were “caught trying to rape” a 17-year-old girl, witnesses and newspaper reports said on Wednesday.

Police said they were investigating the incident which took place late on Tuesday in Kunan, a village north of Srinagar, the summer capital of occupied Kashmir.

“Two army men in civil dress entered our house in the afternoon demanding food and shelter. They asked my mother to leave and tried to rape me,” the girl was reported as saying.

“I resisted and screamed until my neighbours rescued me,” she said, according to the Greater Kashmir daily.
