Seven people were arrested in India over the alleged gang rape and public shaming of a 15-year-old girl in northeastern Bihar state. The alleged victim was not named under Indian law, and restrictions. The alleged victim told police she considered herself to be in a relationship with one of the seven men arrested and had agreed to join him and his friends for a walk on the night of the alleged attack, said Kumari. The following day, the girl's mother complained to village seniors who are alleged to have accused her of fabricating the incident. It was then alleged that the girl's head was shaved and paraded her around the village as a punishment for making "false accusations," according to a statement provided by the alleged victim to police.
A total of seven people were arrested in August having to do with the connection of the case. In 2018, India tightened its rape laws, introducing the death penalty in cases involving minors following a series of high profile attacks. Indian women have to reconcile themselves with the reality, you save yourself - dress up properly, don't go out unescorted or simply stay at home - or remain unsaved. What is disturbing is what appears to be the rising number of children who are being targeted. India's crime records show that reported rapes of minor children had more than doubled between 2012 and 2016.
