Mumbai Police Arrest Suspect in Gang Rape


Divyakant Solanki/European Pressphoto Agency The Shakti Mills compound, the site where a young photojournalist was gang raped on Thursday, in Mumbai, Maharashtra.
A female photographer with an English language magazine was raped by five men in Mumbai Thursday evening, undercutting Mumbai’s image as the rare Indian city where women can safely move about in public spaces.
The assault echoed the gang rape and murder of a woman in New Delhi in December, which set off an unprecedented wave of protests.
The woman, 22, arrived at the abandoned, desolate compound of Shakti Mills, a defunct textile factory, around 6 p.m., accompanied by a male colleague. She was taking photographs of the area, now a trendy hub for media and advertising companies, for a magazine article about Mumbai’s chawls, or tenements for workers who were once employed in the mills.

Under Indian law, the authorities are not permitted to release the name of a rape victim or, in this case, the name of her employer.
The authorities said that five men accosted and assaulted the two journalists inside the compound. The male journalist was tied up and beaten before the young woman was raped.
“There were five men in total, though it is as yet unclear whether they were all involved in raping the girl,” Satyapal Singh, the Mumbai police commissioner, said. “They tied the hands of her colleague using a belt and they hit him with a belt, but he was not severely injured.”
Doctors at Jaslok Hospital, where the woman was brought on Thursday evening, said that she had suffered external and internal injuries but that she was expected to make a full recovery. “As of now, she is stable and Jaslok Hospital is doing its best,” Dr. Tarang Gianchandani, a hospital administrator, said in a statement.
On Friday morning, in an unusually rapid response, the Mumbai police arrested one of the five attackers, and the police said they had identified the others.
“One of the five has been arrested and he admitted he was there along with some others,” Mr. Singh said at a news conference Friday afternoon. The police have released sketches of the five men, based on the woman’s report.
The five attackers are in their early 20s and live in an area near the abandoned textile mill, Mr. Singh said. Two of them have criminal records, he said. The police have not released their names.
After the December attack, in which a physiotherapy student was gang-raped and beaten to death and her male friend severely beaten, tens of thousands protested for weeks, demanding a safer environment for women and heavier penalties for sexual assault. In March, India revised its colonial-era laws on sexual assault, imposing heavier punishments for violence against women and designating stalking and voyeurism as criminal offenses.
Under the new laws, the suspects will be subject to a minimum punishment of 20 years and a maximum of life imprisonment, if convicted.
While Mumbai, India’s financial capital, is widely considered one of the country’s safest cities, recent events have brought that into question. According to statistics from the Praja Foundation, a nonprofit organization in Mumbai, 207 rape cases were registered in the city in 2011 and 2012, a 15 percent increase over 2010. The number of reported rapes nationwide is widely believed to be much lower than the actual number.

The assault on the journalist in Mumbai has not brought protesters to the streets, but it triggered outrage and intense anger in the Indian news media. On Friday afternoon, about 50 journalists held a silent protest in Hutatuma Square at the heart of Mumbai’s financial district.
On Friday, R.R. Patil, the home minister of Maharashtra state, of which Mumbai is the capital, told the Indian news media that female journalists reporting from isolated areas would be provided police protection, an idea that did not go over well with some.
“As a journalist, I should have the freedom to report from where I want, at par with my male colleagues,” Deepti Sachdeva, a reporter with the Times Now television network, posted on Twitter.
Gurbir Singh, an editor at BusinessWorld magazine, accused the Mumbai police of failing to clean up abandoned buildings and prevent them from becoming safe houses for criminals. “The mill in question had been lying abandoned for some years and had become a center for drug abuse, the sale of illicit liquor and all sorts of criminal activities, and the police were aware of this,” Mr. Singh said.

Mumbai gang-rape case: Fifth accused arrested

Jagan to fast in jail against Andhra split

HYDERABAD: YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) president YS Jaganmohan Reddy would go on an indefinite fast on Sunday to protest Andhra Pradesh's bifurcation at Hyderabad's Chanchalguda prison, where he is lodged in connection with the disproportionate assets case.

The move is aimed to consolidate his party's position in the Seemandhra region. Several recent surveys show YSRCP is ahead of other parties in the region due to its stand against the bifurcation and its participation in the Seemandhra agitation.

Jagan informed his party members, who met him in jail on Saturday, about the move. "If we do not react when we have to react, the state would turn into a desert," Jagan is reported to have told his party leaders, including political affairs committee chairman Konathala Ramakrishna.

"Jagan will sit on the indefinite fast as per jail rules. He informed his mother of his decision through the public telephone in the jail,'' he said. "Jagan is disturbed by the unilateral decision taken by the Congress without considering the problems of the three regions. He wants equal justice to all regions.''

Even before the Congress announced its decision in favour of Telangana, YSRCP MLAs, followed by Jagan and the party's honorary president, YS Vijayamma, resigned.

This surprised other political parties, particularly the Telugu Desam Party, which was taken aback by YSRCP's sudden change of stand in favour of the united Andhra Pradesh.

Earlier, Jagan's mother, Vijayamma, ended her five-day fast after she was rushed to Guntur government hospital where she continued her protest.

When Jagan's wife, Y S Bharati, was informed of Vijayamma's deteriorating health, she rushed to the jail and informed her husband who then called his mother and requested her to end her fast.

Chanchalguda jail superintendent B Saidaiah said they had not received any intimation from Jagan about the fast. "If he makes a representation about his intention, we will deal with it accordingly and advise him according to the jail rules. The manual is clear that resorting to a fast is a prison offence," Saidaiah said.

Punishments for breaking prison rules include reduced number of visits.

Iran's Rouhani acknowledges chemical weapons killed people in Syria

DUBAI | Sat Aug 24, 2013 7:22pm IST
(Reuters) - Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said on Saturday for the first time that chemical weapons had killed people in ally Syria and called for the international community to prevent their use.
Rouhani stopped short of saying who he thought had used the arms, but Iran's Foreign Ministry on Saturday said evidence pointed to rebels fighting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Tehran has previously accused Syrian rebels of being behind what it called suspected chemical attacks.
Rouhani did not mention the international furore around Syrian opposition reports that government forces had killed as many as 1,000 civilians with gas in Damascus on Wednesday.
"Many of the innocent people of Syria have been injured and martyred by chemical agents and this is unfortunate," recently elected Rouhani was quoted as saying by the ISNA news agency.
"We completely and strongly condemn the use of chemical weapons, because the Islamic Republic of Iran is itself a victim of chemical weapons," he said, according to the agency.
Iran suffered chemical weapons attacks by Iraqi forces during the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war.
"The Islamic Republic gives notice to the international community to use all its might to prevent the use of these weapons anywhere in the world, especially in Syria," Mehr news agency quoted Rouhani as saying.
Syria's government denies using such weapons and Iran's foreign minister said on Thursday that groups fighting Assad's forces in a two-year-old rebellion must have been behind what he then said was just a suspected gas attack.
Russia, another major ally of the Syrian government, has suggested rebels could be behind the attack.
Abbas Araqchi, Iran's foreign ministry spokesman, said Iran believed the rebels were behind the attack, and that Iran was in touch with Syria and other countries to find out what happened.
"There is evidence that this action was carried out by terrorist groups," ISNA quoted Araqchi as saying. "The concurrence of the use of these weapons with the presence of United Nations inspectors is itself an indication that there are hands at work to accuse the Syrian government of using these weapons and help the conflict and crisis to continue."
The uprising against four decades of Assad family rule has turned into a civil war that has killed more than 100,000.
Foreign powers have said chemical weapons could change the calculus in terms of intervention and are urging the Syrian government to allow a U.N. team of experts to examine the site of Wednesday's reported attacks.
The United States on Friday was repositioning naval forces in the Mediterranean to give President Barack Obama the option of an armed strike on Syria, although officials said that Obama had made no decision on military action.
In response, Iran warned the United States on Saturday not to get militarily involved in Syria.
"No international licence exists for military intervention in Syria," Araqchi was quoted as saying by ISNA. "We hope that White House officials are wise enough to not enter such a dangerous battle. Statements of provocation by American military officials or actions such as sending warships do not help solve the issue and will make the region's situation more dangerous."

Police make third arrest in Mumbai gang rape case

Police make third arrest in Mumbai gang rape case

By Matthias Williams
NEW DELHI | Sat Aug 24, 2013 9:57pm IST
(Reuters) - The police arrested a third man in connection with the gang-rape of a journalist in Mumbai, an official said on Saturday, in a case that has drawn comparisons with an attack in December that led to nationwide protests and a revision of rape laws.
News of Thursday's attack sparked street protests and uproar in parliament and put the spotlight back on women's safety in India, where memories of the rape and murder of a student in New Delhi last December are still fresh.
Many have questioned whether, despite a toughening of rape laws after last year's attack, India is any safer. The latest assault was in the financial capital Mumbai, which is generally considered the country's safest city for women.
The 22-year-old victim, a photo journalist, was admitted to hospital where she is in a stable condition. Police have released sketches of the suspects and say they will ask the government to have the case conducted in a fast-track court.
One man was arrested on Friday in connection with the attack, and Mumbai Police Commissioner Satyapal Singh told reporters a second suspect had been arrested.
"He has admitted that he has done wrong," Singh said, adding that the other suspects may have fled to the city's suburbs.
Police arrested a third suspect later on Saturday, Singh told Reuters via a phone text message, but did not elaborate.
BROKEN BEER BOTTLE
The attack took place shortly before sunset in a former industrial district that is now one of the city's fastest-growing neighbourhoods. The woman was at an abandoned textile mill on assignment with a male colleague.
They were separated by the attackers and the woman's colleague was tied up with a belt while she was assaulted.
"In the 21st-century, I am ashamed that a journalist doing her job has to go through something like this," said Bharatkumar Raut, a Mumbai-born member of parliament in the Rajya Sabha.
"We used to say that Mumbai is the safest city in India. But the life of our citizens - not just women - is becoming insecure," he told Reuters by phone.
Local TV news channels and newspapers, citing police sources and statements purportedly made by the victim, have disclosed some details of the assault.
According to the Mumbai daily Mid Day, the attackers threatened to slash the victim with a broken beer bottle. They also threatened to reveal her identity if she reported the incident, it reported.
The Times of India on Saturday quoted a statement by the victim from her hospital bed.
"I want no other woman in this city and country to go through such brutal physical humiliation," she was quoted as saying. "The perpetrators should be punished severely as they have ruined my life."
Reuters was unable to independently verify the statements. Himanshu Roy, Mumbai's joint commissioner of police, declined to comment when contacted by telephone.
The trials of the four men and one juvenile accused of the December attack are expected to conclude within three weeks. Closing arguments in the trial of the four adult suspects started on Thursday.
Following a public outcry over the Delhi attack, India introduced tougher rape laws in March, which include the death penalty for repeat offenders and for those whose victims were left in a "vegetative state".

Gang rape of photojournalist shocks Mumbai

MUMBAI | Fri Aug 23, 2013 6:01pm IST
(Reuters) - A photojournalist was gang-raped in Mumbai, police said on Friday, evoking comparisons with a similar assault in New Delhi in December that led to nationwide protests and a revision of the country's rape laws.
The attack on Thursday night triggered protests and an outcry on social media, with many users shocked that it took place in Mumbai, widely considered to be India's safest city for women.
One man was arrested on Friday and 20 police teams were pursuing four men who had been identified, said Mumbai Police Commissioner Satyapal Singh.
"Mumbai police will do its best to collect all the evidence - clinching evidence, scientific evidence - so that a fool-proof case is made out in the court, and they get maximum punishment," Singh said. "We will also request the government that this case be conducted in a fast-track court."
In rowdy scenes in the Rajya Sabha, opposition lawmakers accused the government of not doing enough to protect women, despite tougher sex crime laws brought in this year.
The victim, who is in her early twenties, was admitted to hospital in south Mumbai where she was in stable condition, a hospital official told Reuters by e-mail.
The attack took place shortly before sunset in an abandoned textile mill in Lower Parel, a gritty former industrial district that is now one of the city's fastest-growing neighbourhoods of luxury apartments, malls and bars.
The woman was at the mill on an assignment with a male colleague. The pair were separated by the attackers and her colleague was tied up with a belt while she was assaulted, Singh said.
Several dozen mainly male supporters of the right-wing Shiv Sena political party gathered with flags and banners outside the police station where the case was filed. A further protest was called for later in the afternoon.
Women's safety in India has been in the spotlight this year following the brutal gang-rape of a 23-year-old student on a moving bus in New Delhi in December, which led thousands of Indians to take to the streets in protest. The woman died of her injuries two weeks later in a Singapore hospital.
The trials of the four men and one juvenile accused of the December attack are expected to conclude within the next three weeks. The verdict on the juvenile suspect is set for Aug 31. Closing arguments in the trial of the four adult suspects started on Thursday.
Following public outcry over the Delhi attack, India introduced tougher rape laws in March, which include the death penalty for repeat offenders and for those whose victims were left in a "vegetative state".
In contrast to Delhi, Mumbai has long been considered a safer place for women to travel alone, even at night.
"(Mumbai) has this sense of security ... but these things make us feel that maybe we are not really that safe," said A. L. Sharada, director of Population First, a Mumbai-based NGO that works on women's rights issues.
"Women should be able to move freely and take up work. Why should we be worrying about something bad happening to us all the time?"
