An alleged gang rape of a Spanish-Brazilian tourist is making headlines in India. Three possible perpetrators have been arrested so far, the Hindustan Times and the Indian news agency PTI reported on Monday, citing police.
It is expected that more arrests will follow. According to authorities, the incident took place in Jharkhand state last Friday when the 28-year-old vlogger and her 64-year-old husband spent the night in a tent. Police then took the couple to a hospital, where medical tests confirmed the rape.
The couple – Fernanda and Vincente – said in a now-deleted video on Instagram that they were beaten and that the woman was raped by seven men. The two have been traveling around the world on their motorcycles for several years and share their experiences with their more than 240,000 followers. Since the crime became public, social networks have controversially discussed women’s travel in India.

According to official figures, an average of 86 women and girls are raped every day in India – the world’s most populous country with 1.4 billion inhabitants. There are also other victims who never go to the police. Many Indian women are also silent about it. According to women’s rights activists, the problem lies in the patriarchal society. They also accuse the police and the judiciary of not taking victims of sexual violence seriously enough. Many cases have been dormant for years and convictions are rare.
Local police told international media on Monday that three men had already been arrested in connection with the rape; A team hunts for the other four suspected perpetrators. Photos released by police show the three being captured with bags over their heads and tied up with ropes. (cpf/sda/dpa)
