Talking about police probe in her case, she said, "I am not happy with how the police is handling this case."

A 30-year-old American woman who was allegedly gangraped in a Delhi hotel earlier this year, told India Today that she was not happy the way Delhi Police was handling the case.

In an exclusive interview to India Today, she said, "I feel there should be a stronger law for protecting tourists from rape in India."

She said that cases of rape were high in India and this needs urgent redressal.

Talking about police probe in her case, she said, "I am not happy with how the police is handling this case."

The woman tourist further added that women's safety is a global issue and hence her case should not be seen in an independent light.

Speaking about the incident, she named her tour guide and two hotel staffers among the five who gangraped her in a Connaught Place hotel she was staying at.

"Police needs to do more to make arrests," the American tourist added saying that she will never travel in India alone again.

In her complaint, she claimed that the five gained entry to her room on pretext of talking to her about travel details.

She said she felt drowsy after drinking water they offered her, adding that the tour guide, attendant, guide's cousin and two others sexually assaulted her for two days.

Incredible India web site had a disclaimer warning foreign females about the danger of sexual assault in India. It's not there any more. Could the Indian members ask your tourist ministry to bring back that page for the safety of foreign nationals.

The victim knew her tour guide. How hard is it to find and arrest him?

It would have been funny if it was not so shocking. Her probability of getting raped in the US is much much much higher than in India.

As per American statistics, An American woman has a 25 to 26 percent chance of being raped in her lifetime (1 in 4).


Not that it makes her personal story any less horrific.



Don't you think the perpetrators will escape before the law gets to them ?

Besides you can be certain that the tourist is not going to stick around and go to court to testify against the perpetrators.

Even the police would know that.

Best the police can do is catch them and thrash them, but then what about american concern for human rights ?


There is no happy ending here.

In USA most of the rapes are by people the victim knows. One example - females goes to parties, get drunk and a few get raped by someone at the party

Most, not all.

However that is true all over the world.

Most women get raped by people they know, like neighbors, relatives, friends, co workers etc.

Raping complete strangers is a rare act. Usually by career criminals.
