Gang-rape sparks protests in Mumbai

Five men gang-raped a female photographer in India's financial hub Mumbai, fuelling protests and stirring memories of a similar attack last December in New Delhi. The attack took place on August 22 in an upmarket district of central Mumbai as the 23-year-old woman and a male colleague were taking photos of old buildings for a magazine. The pair were approached by members of the gang and told they should not be there. The man was then tied up with a belt while the woman was raped repeatedly nearby, Mumbai's police commissioner Satyapal Singh told reporters.
