I hope this is not made into another India centric thing, as this phenomenon is not limited to India only, in past, in many other countries also, such incidents have happened. Every society has black sheep, whether it be a developed civilized nation or under developed nation.

So, members be careful not to change the topic to some bashing thing.

Keep it civilized.

KARWAR: An Australian tourist was allegedly molested and raped at the Paradise Beach near Gokarna around 1 am on Saturday. The incident came to light when a complaint was lodged at the Gokarna police station by Bernal, an associate of the victim.


The victim has been identified as Gift Lawrence Jane(28) from Brisbane. The accused, Sharanabasavaraju Shivangowda, is a native of Raichur, and is currently doing his BE from PESIT engineering college, Bangalore.

The police arrested Shivangowda and produced him before the court on Saturday. He has been remanded to judicial custody.

Kirankumar, Sub-Inspector, Gokarna police station, told Express by phone on Sunday that the victim had been taken to the forensic laboratory at Mangalore to undergo a test. He said that the forensic report was yet to arrive.

The Australian couple were staying in a lodge near the beach for the past two weeks.

According to Jane, Sharanabasavaraju, who had come to Paradise Beach with his friends four days ago, tried to befriend her.

On Saturday, noticing that Bernal was away from the room, Shivangowda molested and raped her.

Sharanabasavaraju was caught when Bernal rushed back to the room upon hearing the screams of Jane. He was later handed over to the police.

This incident is the first of its kind at Gokarna.

The isolated beaches near Gokarna, including Om Beach, Kudle Beach, Paradise Beach and Honeymoon Beach, are a favourite with the foreign tourists.

The tourists, who flock to Goa, spend a few days on these beaches. They usually stay in private houses or in specially built cottages. Though the tourists start departing after the New Year, a few stay on till the commencement of the monsoon.
