A mother and her young daughter have allegedly been gang-raped by six men 'in revenge' for dishonour to one of the attacker's relatives.
Police said that the men raped the women in the Champaran district of Bihar, northern India because the mother's son had eloped with one of their sisters.
It is believed that the victims were kidnapped from Sariswa village and taken to one of the attacker's houses.
According to the police, they believed the boy's mother knew about the couple's whereabouts, but would not reveal it to them.
The couple reportedly went missing in January and have not been traced since.
A medical examination of the two women confirmed that they were raped on April 18. The police said they arrested the suspects within 36 hours of the complaint being lodged.
Rape arrests have become a contentious issue in India in the past few months, as they face accusations that they do not take the crime seriously enough.
This rape is the latest in a serious of high profile incidents that have shocked India - afive-year-old is still recovering this week from being gang-raped in Delhi
Suspects Manoj Kumar and Pradeep allegedly held the child for three days in a rented New Delhi room before leaving her for dead.
Today a 26-year-old has also been arrested from the suburb of Gurgaon in Delhi for allegedly raping his stepdaughters, aged 7 and 14.
Another man was arrested in Puri, a town held sacred by Hindus, for molesting his 14-year-old daughter.
Sexual assaults in India have been increasing for many years, but the fatal gang rape of a woman on a New Delhi bus in December has pushed the issue to the top of the national agenda
