A 16-year-old girl has alleged she was raped by at least 400 men.
Seven men have been arrested in India in what is the latest shocking case of sexual violence in the country.
The girl, who was homeless, said she was raped by 400 men in Beed district of Maharashtra state, India’s Child Welfare Committee (CWC) was told.
The girl had been begging for money at a bus stop when she was allegedly forced into sex work by three men, CWC chairman Abhay Vitthalrao Vanave said.
She was also allegedly sexually assaulted by two policemen when she tried to file a complaint. The girl is now two months pregnant.
women’s rights activist Yogita Bhayana described it as “the most tragic (rape) case in history.”
“This girl was tortured every single day,” she said.
“We want strict action against all culprits.”
Superintendent of Police in Beed Raja Ramasamy said three people had been arrested. A statement from police said cases had been registered against eight men.
In a statement to the committee, the girl said, “I have been abused by many people.”
“I went to Ambajogai police station several times to file a complaint, but the police took no action against the culprits. Instead, I was harassed by a policeman.
A report in 2019 found there were 32,033 rape cases in India that year, or an average of 88 cases each day.
Earlier this year, an Indian teen was gang raped for an hour after being promised a COVID-19 vaccine.
